Sizing Up Your System
Your scanner is sufficient for most scanning needs, but if you are
not satisified with the quality of the images on your monitor or
with the speed of image processing, read this section. While it
does not contain specific recommendations, it describes various
options for improving your scanning system. For further
information, consult your dealer or an experienced scanner user.
RAM and hard disk size
Scanned images use much more memory than text files, so you
may need more RAM (Random Access Memory) in your
computer and a larger hard disk than you are currently using.
Video cards
A video card that is sufficient for text may not be good enough
for displaying graphics, especially in color. If all your scanned
images look grainy on your monitor, you may want to upgrade
your video card. You will need 24-bit color, also called "true color"
or "millions of colors", to make the highest quality image
reproductions.
Monitors
The resolution of your monitor affects the quality of the image
you see. Consider a high resolution monitor if you do precise color
work, but also be sure you have a high quality video card.
