Scan Resolution
The scan resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch); the higher the DPI, the more detail on
the original is captured by the scanner, producing a higher quality scanned image. However, a
higher DPI also results in a larger image size and occupies more storage space.
The scanner offers three resolution modes, indicated by the color of the STD, HQ, STD HQ
indicator LED light.
