Basic Scanning
Caution:
Changing the size of
the scanned image
without keeping the
aspect ratio can distort
or stretch the image or
produce other
unexpected results.
Specifying the exact
size of the scanned
image is useful
when you are
scanning an image
that needs to fit into
defined dimensions,
such as a column
width in a newsletter.
If you need to change the size of the scanned
image without changing the image file size, check
the Keep File Size option. When you change the
size of the scanned image, the software
automatically adjusts the resolution of the image to
maintain the current file size.
4. Enter a new value for the image width, length
(height), or both (if you are not keeping the aspect
ratio).
5. Change the image resolution, if needed.
The file size of the scanned image is displayed in
kilobytes, or KB (one kilobyte = 1024 bytes), for the
current settings, and is updated when you change
the size of the scanned image. If the file is too large
with the dimensions you've set, you can reduce the
image file size by reducing the image resolution.
Conversely, if you reduce the image size, you may
want to take advantage of the lower storage
requirements by increasing image resolution.
