Resolution — allows you to select the dots per inch (dpi), which affects
the size of the image. The options are: 300, 600 and 1200 dpi. The
default is 300 dpi. In most cases, 300 dpi is sufficient. Selecting 600 dpi
or 1200 dpi increases scanning and processing time.
Compression — select one of the compressions settings. Best is the
default.
• Best — optimum compression, best image quality. Creates a smaller
file size than Superior. Select Best if you want standard size reprints
of scanned image files.
• Superior — minimum compression, superior image quality. Creates
a file that is 5 to 10 times larger than Best compression, which will
impact performance. Select Superior if you want to reprint
enlargements of scanned image files.
Sharpen Images — sharpens the focus and edges of the scanned
image. If this option is selected, all photos within the batch (the stack of
photos to be scanned) will be sharpened unless the setting is changed
again.
The options are:
• None: no sharpening will be done. This is the default.
• Low: low amount of sharpening applied after the batch scan has
been completed.
• High: high amount of sharpening applied after the batch scan has
been completed.
NOTE: Low is the recommended sharpening setting in most cases
where sharpening is desired. This option is not recommended
for grayscale images.
Output Media — determines whether files are partitioned to fit onto a
CD or DVD based on file size.
• Prompt for Media: if selected, you will be asked to select KODAK
Picture CD, CD or DVD output after scanning is complete.
