you use the resolution the software has determined to be best for the
type of original you have.
What is the difference between screen and print quality?
A computer screen usually displays images at 72 to 75 pixels per inch
(PPI). Print resolution is usually higher. Screens also use fewer colors
to display an image. Even if an image looks incorrect on the screen, it
might print the way you want.
What is the difference between zooming and resizing?
Use
Zoom In
to view an area of the scanned image close up. Use
Zoom Out
to return to the original view of the image.

just give you a different view on a monitor. To reduce or enlarge the
size of the final scan, use the
