Today’s scanners support resolutions as high as 2800 dots per inch (dpi), but
at that resolution you’ll waste time and space creating files that are hundreds of
megabytes in size. Instead, set the photo’s physical dimensions (width and
height) to exactly what you need (e.g., 1.5" x 2.5"), and then set the resolution per
the chart below.
For:
Scan at:
E-mail
72 dpi
Web pages
72 – 100 dpi
Desktop printer
72 – 100 dpi
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
300 dpi
Remember to clean the glass platen before and after you scan. Use antistatic
canned air or cloth, or a camel’s hair brush.
