Before you select the scan resolution, you should consider whether you will enlarge the

images, and if so, whether you will enlarge them before or after you scan. Follow these

guidelines:

❏ You will not be enlarging the images.

If you will scan the images at 100% size or smaller and will not enlarge them later, you

can accept the Resolution setting selected by EPSON Scan based on your original and

destination settings.

❏ You will enlarge the images as you scan them (increase the Target Size setting).

If you will enlarge the images in EPSON Scan so you can use them at a larger size, you

can accept the Resolution setting selected by EPSON Scan based on your original and

destination settings.

❏ You will scan the images at their original size, but then enlarge them later in an

image-editing program.

If you plan to enlarge your images later in an image-editing program, you need to

increase the Resolution setting to retain a high image quality after enlargement.

Increase the resolution by the same amount you will increase the image size. For

example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch), but you will increase the image size

by 200% in an image-editing program, change the Resolution setting to 600 dpi in

EPSON Scan.

Click the arrow next to the Resolution list and select the number of dots per inch at which

you want to scan. See the table below for some guidelines:

After selecting the Resolution, you can preview your image and make any necessary

adjustments. See "Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area" on page 29 to continue
