Setting Scan to File Image Resolution
Note
This feature is only available if your system includes the integrated Document Scanner module for
copying and scanning jobs.
Image resolution deals with the amount of data, or pixels used when scanning an image. The higher
the image resolution, the better the image looks. However, depending on where the image will ultimately
be used, you may not need a high resolution image. For example, if an image will only be viewed on the
web, you won't need an image that's 1200 x 1200 pixels. The following will provide guidelines on image
resolutions appropriate for various delivery styles.
To set image resolution
1. In the Xerox Nuvera user interface, click Scan To File.
2. Select the Basic tab (default tab chosen after clicking Scan To File).
3. Click the Resolution pull-down menu.
4. Determine final output of image. See example guidelines below:
• Choose 1200 dpi, if image is composed mostly of text and/or line art, and final output is print.
• Choose 600 dpi, if image is composed mostly of photographic or halftoned pictures, and final
output is print.
• Choose 400 dpi, if image is composed mostly of text and/or line art, and final output is the web
or internet.
• Choose 300 dpi, if image is composed mostly of photographic or halftoned pictures, and final
output is the web or internet.
