Check the scanner resolution and color settings on the computer
If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected a
resolution or color setting in the scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and color
affect the following features of scanned images:
● Image clarity
● Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)
● Scan time
● File size
Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).
NOTE: Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.
Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. You can adjust the scanner
hardware resolution for up to 1200 ppi.
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple tips that you can follow to meet your scanning
needs.
NOTE: Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up disk space
and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how you are going to
use the scanned image.
Resolution and color guidelines
The following table describes the recommended resolution and color settings for different types of scan
jobs.
NOTE: The default resolution is 200 ppi.
