Scanning Overview

You can use your Dell™ 1355cn/1355cnw Multifunction Color Printer to turn
pictures and text into editable images on your computer.
®
PaperPort is a program that enables you to organize, find and share all your
paper and digital documents, and is supplied with your printer.
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 in to
your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Type
Documents
Documents of poor quality or that
contain small text
Photographs and pictures
Images for an inkjet printer
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.
NOTE:
You can use PaperPort's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software to copy text from scanned documents so that you can use and edit the text
in any text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program. The OCR process
requires textual images scanned at 150–600 dpi and 300 dpi or 600 dpi is
recommended for graphics.
