Tips for best image quality
Output type, resolution, file type, and values for other controls
determine image quality and file size.
When you first scan an item, the scanner chooses the defaults for
output type and resolution, and you do not need to change them. If you
want to change these settings or want help choosing a file type, see:
"To select an output type" on page 43.
"Changing resolution" on page 46.
"List of file types" on page 63.
Tip For help choosing an output type, view the Guided
Steps. If they are not already displayed, click . In
step 3 “Confirm that the output type is what you
want,” select Help Me Choose from the drop-down
list.
Tip For any image that will be printed, choose TIFF
compressed as the file type to reduce the file size
while maintaining quality. Also, many different
programs recognize this file type.
