For example, if you scan a Grayscale image at a resolution of 150, the hard disk space needed to scan a letter size document will be approximately 2.6 MB. For maximum results, set resolution to 1.5 times your printer's line-screen. - Page 15 When scanning in color, remember that 24 to 30 bits of information can take up a lot of disk space. If you’re going to scan a color image and then print it out, scan at 200 dpi. If you are going to scan a color image just to experiment, scan at about 100 dpi to conserve hard disk space.
