Resolution - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

Resolution

Resolution in the Settings window refers to the desired
resolution for outputting the image to a device, such as a
monitor or printer. It does not refer to the resolution in
which the image is scanned. The maximum output resolution
is dynamically calculated by the system as determined by
the maximum scanner resolution and the scaling setting.
Resolution is also related to scaling, or how large or small
the image will be scanned relative to the original. When you
change the resolution, the scaling may be affected slightly if
the resolution you selected has no exact equivalent in
scaling. (Scaling is discussed in the next section, Image
Dimension controls.)
For details on choosing the optimal resolution and how
resolution relates to scaling, see the Basic Concepts chapter.
To set your resolution:
Enter a resolution setting in the Resolution edit box. There is
no need to press the Enter key; typing in a value automati-
cally inputs it into the system. If the value you enter is too
low or too high, the minimum or maximum resolution value
is entered for you instead.

In setting resolution, choose the setting that best matches
your output device. Remember that the higher the
resolution, the larger the resulting file will be and the longer
it will take to output.
