Selecting a Scan Resolution Setting

The higher the scan resolution, the finer the result, the lower, the more coarse.
Select the resolution that best suits your use of the scanned image.
Select a setting by right-clicking the settings display area, positioning the mouse
over an option and clicking it. When the menu disappears, the new value will
appear in the settings display area.
Right-click the settings display area
To change the setting with the output magnification box at the top of the preview

directly into the box.

Data Volume Varies with Scan Resolution
As with magnification, the higher the scan resolution, the larger the resulting
image file. If the file size is too large, it can slow processing and may overload
your computer's memory resources. To illustrate the difference in file size, we
show the results of a 35 mm film scanned in 24-bit color mode at the
respective scan resolutions.
