■ Printing to Scale
For example, if you want to print a document which is twice the size both vertically and
horizontally, the resolution of your document will be reduced by half. If the resolution of the
original document is 300 dpi, the resolution of the enlarged document will be 150 dpi. If
you print the document with a 600 dpi color printer, the lack of detail in the image may be
obvious. In such a case, if you scan at a resolution of 600 dpi, resolution will be 300 dpi
even if you double the size of the document and you can print the document with sufficient
quality. Conversely, if you want to print a document at a reduced size, it should be
sufficient to scan at half the resolution.
■ Resolution and Data Size
If you double the resolution, the image data will be four times greater. If the data is too
large, processing speed will slow down significantly, and you may experience
malfunctions such as lack of memory. Make sure the resolution corresponds to the
purpose of use of the image and set at the lowest level possible.
