detail captured in your scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes
with the following disadvantages:
• Larger file sizes
• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the
resolution from the default resolution set by the software. Follow these guidelines to determine the
resolution setting you need:
• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.
53
Increase the resolution setting in your scanning software. Increase the resolution by the same amount
you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi
(dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.
Select the resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

2. Clean the outer case with a cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
3. If the scanner glass gets dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. If the glass surface is stained with grease
or some other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to
remove it. Wipe off all remaining liquid.
Note: Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass. Make sure that no dust builds up on
the surface of the scanner glass. Dust can cause spots in your scanned images.
4. If the document mat is dirty, dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent and water, wring it out
thoroughly, and then wipe off any remaining stains. After that, use a soft dry cloth to wipe the mat.
