One final note

: Please keep in mind that larger file sizes are

created by using higher resolutions and/or higher scaling during

a scan. To keep your file sizes to a minimum, it is a good idea to

only scan at the minimum resolution for your needs. For ex-

ample, if you are creating a web page, you will only need to scan

your images at 75dpi. 300dpi is a good resolution for printing on

most home printers

. For your prints to come out matching the

original size, scan with 100% scaling.
