■ To zoom to the selected area, click the Zoom button.

Scanning Tips Getting the best scan possible depends on several factors, including the quality of your original and the resolution you select. The better your original is, the better your scan will be. To get the best possible scan, keep the document table clean, and make sure the document is flat against the glass surface. You can make many corrections in your scanning software (EPSON Scan, or LaserSoft SilverFast if you have the Professional or Professional FireWire model of the scanner). For additional photo retouching, use an image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop Elements. Selecting Resolution Resolution refers to how many dots per inch (dpi) or dots per centimeter (dpcm) your image contains. The best resolution for a scanned image depends on the type of image you're scanning and your final output device. For most images, use a scanning resolution that is approximately one third of your output resolution. For example, use a scanning resolution of 200 dpi if you want to print at 600 dpi. If you're scanning an image to view on-screen, choose a resolution of 96 dpi. How To Scan 17

Selecting Resolution
Resolution refers to how many dots per inch (dpi) or dots per centimeter (dpcm) your
image contains. The best resolution for a scanned image depends on the type of image
you’re scanning and your final output device.
For most images, use a scanning resolution that is approximately one third of your
