ResolutionThe data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness andcolor. The density of these dots is called "resolution", and resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The unit of resolution is dots per inch (dpi). Dpi is the number of dots per inch (2.5 cm). The higher the resolution (value), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (value), the less detail. How to Set the Resolution You can set the resolution in the following screens. IJ Scan Utility: Resolution on the (Scanning from a Computer) tab of the Settings dialog box ScanGear (Scanner Driver): Output Resolution in Output Settings on the Advanced Mode tab Appropriate Resolution Settings Set the resolution according to the use of the scanned image.

Important• If you double the resolution, the data size of the scanned image quadruples. If the file is too large, theprocessing speed will slow down significantly, and you will experience inconvenience such as lack of memory. Set the minimum required resolution according to the use of the image. Note • When you will be printing the scanned image by enlarging it, scan by setting a higher resolution than the recommended one above. 722
Data FormatsYou can select a data format when saving scanned images. You should specify the most suitable data format according to how you want to use the image on which application. Available data formats vary by application and operating system (Windows or Mac OS). See below for the characteristics of each image data format. PNG (Standard File Extension: .png) A data format often used on websites. PNG is suitable for editing saved images. JPEG (Standard File Extension: .jpg) A data format often used on websites and for digital camera images. JPEG features high compression rates. JPEG images slightly degrade every time they are saved, and cannot be returned to their original state. JPEG is not available for black and white images. TIFF (Standard File Extension: .tif) A data format featuring a relatively high compatibility between various computers and applications. TIFF is suitable for editing saved images. Note • Some TIFF files are incompatible. • IJ Scan Utility supports the following TIFF file formats. • Uncompressed, black and white binary • Uncompressed, RGB (8 bits per channel) • Uncompressed, Grayscale PDF (Standard File Extension: .pdf) A data format for electronic documents, developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated. It can be used on various computers and operating systems, and fonts can be embedded as well; therefore, people in different environments can exchange the files without being aware of the differences. 723
Color Matching"Color Matching" is the act of making adjustments so that the color tones match between the original item, the monitor display, and the color printout. On your scanner or printer, the color tones are adjusted as shown below. Example: When sRGB is selected as the output profile (target): The image's color space is converted from the scanner's color space to sRGB by ScanGear. When displaying on a monitor, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the monitor's color space based on the operating system's monitor settings and the application's working space settings. When printing, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the printer's color space based on the application's print settings and the printer driver's settings. 724
