Determining a scan resolution
Before you select the scan resolution, you should consider whether you will enlarge the
images, and if so, whether you will enlarge them as you scan or after you scan. Follow these
guidelines:
•You will not enlarge the images.
If you will scan the images at 100% size or smaller and will not enlarge them later, accept
the Resolution setting selected by Epson Scan.
•You will enlarge the images as you scan them (increase the Target Size setting).
If you will enlarge the images in Epson Scan so you can use them at a lar ger size, accept
the Resolution setting selected by Epson Scan.
•You will scan the images at their original size, but then enlarge them later in an
image-editing program.
If you plan to enlarge your images later in an image-editing program, you need to increase
the Resolution setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the resolution by the same
amount you will increase the image size. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per
inch), and you will increase the image size by 200% later, change the Resolution setting
to 600 dpi.
