One final note

: Please keep in mind that larger file sizes are

created by using higher resolutions and/or higher scaling during

the 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

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

scan your images at 75dpi. 300dpi is a good resolution for most

home printers. To assure that your prints come out matching the

original’s size, make sure you scan with 100% scaling.
