EN Scanner resolution and color 77
Note Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up disk space and
slow the scanning or copying process. It is important that you first determine how you are going to
use the scanned image.
Note Color and grayscale images achieve the best resolution when scanned from the flatbed scanner
rather than the ADF.
