Relationship between Resolution and Scan Size
This section explains the relationship between resolution and scan size.
Resolution and scan size are inversely related. The higher the resolution (dpi) is set, the smaller the area
that can be scanned. Similarly, the larger the scan area, the lower the resolution that can be set.
The relationship between the scanning resolution and scan size is shown below. If the combination is
unreadable, "Exceeded max. data capacity". "Check resolution and Start." appears on the machine's
control panel display. Change the condition until scanning is enabled.
• Image compression level can limit Maximum image size.
