Adjusting The Resolution - Xerox DocuMate 700 User Manual

Scanning from TWAIN

Adjusting the Resolution

Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. The resolution
setting for a scan is in dots-per-inch (dpi). The higher the resolution, the finer the details.
However, higher dpi settings also take longer to scan and produce larger file sizes. If you are
scanning photographs to make copies, 200 dpi will make a direct size copy of similar image
quality to the original. You would use a higher dpi setting to enlarge a picture from the original
size.
To adjust the resolution:
1. To use one of the preset resolutions for typical scanned items, click one of the options in the
list.
2. To set the resolution manually, drag the Resolution slider to the left to decrease the
resolution or to the right to increase it.
You can also click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the setting.
3. Click Reset to return the resolution to its original setting.
The resolution panel also includes an advanced setting for Moiré patterns. Moiré patterns are
wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or
illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. To scan the image and limit or
eliminate moiré patterns, select the Reduce Moiré option. This option is not available for high
resolution settings.
