84 Scanning Using the Document Table
❏ 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 after enlargement. Increase the 
resolution by the same amount you will increase the image 
size. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch), 
but you will increase the image size by 200% in an 
image-editing program, change the Resolution setting to 600 
dpi in EPSON Scan.
Click the arrow next to the Resolution list and select the number 
of dots per inch at which you want to scan. See the table below 
for some guidelines:
After selecting the Resolution, you can preview your image and 
make any necessary adjustments. See "Previewing and Adjusting 
the Scan Area" on page 85 to continue scanning.
