Scan Resolution Guidelines

The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your

scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following

disadvantages:

• Larger file sizes

• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans

• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper

If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the

resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan 2. Follow these guidelines to determine the

resolution setting you need:

• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.

Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same

amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is

300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600

dpi.

• You will scan the image at 100% or a smaller size.

Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:

• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi

• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi
