Never scan at a higher resolution or bit depth than you need. It
does not improve the quality, and just takes up disk space.
Photos typically are not high resolution, so scanning at a
resolution greater than 100 dpi will not improve the quality of the
scanned photo image.
If you want higher resolution for your photos, use the
OfficeJet Pro 300 dpi printer destination under the Options menu.
Keep in mind that one full-page scan at that resolution can use as
much as
24 MB of disk space
. See the Scanning Tutorial for more
information.
If you are scanning something to go on a web site or display
screen, remember that most screens only display at 72 dpi.
If you want to save an image in FlashPix (.fpx) format, launch
Adobe PhotoDeluxe, and use the TWAIN feature to scan the
image. Then save it as a .fpx file type.
