After you install the software from the Drivers and Utilities CD, you can start scanning images using either the operator panel or applications such as DELL MFP Center or Adobe PhotoShop on your computer, which enables you to scan a document on your printer as a BMP, JPEG, TIFF, or PDF and save it to a computer. Or, you can send the scanned image as an e-mail attachment directly from the printer. NOTE: DELL MFP Center is the scanning program provided with your printer. The resolution setting to use when you scan an item using PaperPort depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or document after you scan it in to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings. Item Type Resolution Documents 300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color Documents of poor quality or that contain small text 400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale Photographs and pictures 100-200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale Images for an inkjet printer 150 dpi to 300 dpi Images for a high-resolution printer 300 dpi to 600 dpi Scanning above these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
