Scanning Images for Printing

Scanning images for printing in Full Auto Mode
Scanning images for printing in Home Mode
Scanning images for printing in Professional Mode

When you want to print scanned images on your EPSON ink jet printer or have prints made at your favorite film developing service, set the output resolution to 300 dpi. If you select a resolution higher than 300 dpi, printing takes a longer time but the output quality does not change.

You can also use the Photo Print utility in EPSON Smart Panel to scan images for printing. For more details, see Photo Print.
