Recommended Settings - Epson 1250 Basic Manual

Recommended Settings

Getting the best scan possible depends on several factors, including the quality of your
original and the resolution you select. The better your original is, the better your scan
will be. You can make many corrections in your scanning software (EPSON
TWAIN), however, major photo retouching will need to be done in programs such as
Adobe Photoshop Elements or ArcSoft PhotoImpression.
If you are manually adjusting the settings in the TWAIN window, try the following
settings for optimal scans:
I
Viewing on screen or the Web: 72 to 96 dpi
I
Sending and viewing on e-mail: 96 to 150 dpi
I
Printing:
Type of image
Photograph
Small photograph to be enlarged
Magazine
Newspaper (text only)
Text for OCR
Text with images
Line art
35 mm film (negative)
35 mm slide
Higher dpi settings create larger files. Don't select a higher resolution than
necessary for your final output (web, e-mail, or print).
