Adjusting Output (Scan) Resolution
By changing the resolution, you can set how clear the image is going to be.
The higher the resolution, the clearer (but the larger) the scanned image is.
The resolution can be changed before scanning.
Note:
- If the resolution is doubled, the image data will be quadrupled.
- If the data is large, problems such as slow processing speed or lack of memory may occur.
