The resolution of your monitor, of course, also affects the
quality of the image you see. Consider a high resolution
monitor if you do precise color work, but first be sure you have
the right video card.
File compression software
Many different programs are available to make image files
smaller for storage or transmission. For example, they can
enable you to store a 3MB image file on a 1.44MB floppy disk.
Some compression software can compress images and restore
them with no loss of data or quality; others compress images
more, but the restored file is not exactly the same as the
original. The difference between the original and restored files
is, however, almost unnoticeable.
Maintenance
To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it
periodically. Before cleaning, unplug the power cable and all
the interface cables connected to the scanner.
Clean the outer case with mild detergent diluted in water.
If the glass of the document table gets dirty, clean it with a soft
dry cloth. If the glass is stained with grease or other hard-to-
remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft
cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a soft
dry cloth.
Be sure that there is no dust on the glass of the document table.
Dust can cause white spots in your scanned image.
