Scanning Overview
You can use your printer to turn pictures and text into editable images on your computer.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use
the image or document after you scan it into your computer. For the best results, use these
recommended settings.
Type
Resolution
Documents
300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text
400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale
Photographs and pictures
100-200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale
Images for an inkjet printer
150-300 dpi
Images for a high-resolution printer

Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If
you require a resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of
the image by previewing (or pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
