    Main tab The Main tab provides the following options: Dots per inch (dpi) or resolution ⎯ indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size.

It allows you to select an area on the document to be delivered in either color/grayscale or black and white format (a separate window for both black and white and color/grayscale may be defined).

  • Page 36 Offset for Image’s Left — select a value to determine how far the printed information will appear from the left edge of the document.
