Selecting the proper scanner setting before scanning provides the best
results for a scanned item. The scanner setting determines the resolution
of the item and the number of possible shades of gray or color. These
selections affect the speed of the scan and the file size. The Visioneer
Scan Manager Dialog gives you the approximate size of the scan.
In the Visioneer Scan Manager dialog box, you can select one of the
predefined scanner settings from the list “Scan Page For.” The settings
are described in the following table.
