(6) Set the Resolution
The Resolution, which is measured in dots per inch
(dpi), determines the effect of the image as it is
displayed or printed. Images scanned at a high
resolution capture more information. However, high-
resolution images require more memory.
See Scan Tips on Appendix A.

image when you click on the Scan button.
