NOTE • The data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness and color. The density of these dots is called "resolution," and "dpi" (dots per inch) refers to the number of dots in one inch. Resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The higher the resolution (number), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (number), the less detail. • As a general rule, you should select a scanning resolution that corresponds to your final output device such as a monitor or printer. ■ Images for Display on a Monitor Images for display on a monitor should in general be scanned at a resolution of 75 dpi. ■ Images for Printing Images to be printed should be scanned at a resolution which corresponds to the resolution of the printer. For example, if you are using a 600 dpi black and white printer, you should scan your document at [600 dpi]. NOTE With a color printer, the colors are expressed as a certain percentage of ink pigment so scanning your document at half the resolution of the printer should be fine. For example, if you are using a 600 dpi color printer, you should scan your document at [300 dpi]. 3-44 Setting Preferences and Scanning with ScanGear MF
