How the Output Resolution and Image Size Relate
To understand the relationship between the two settings, see the example below of image sizes 
(cm) for an image scanned in the file mode at different output resolutions.
Example with the Output Resolution Changed from 500 to 1000 dpi
An output resolution of 1000 dpi signifies that one linear inch of an image output to a printer or to a 
monitor will contain 1000 dots (= pixels). Since the image was scanned at a density of 500 dots 
per inch and is being output at twice that density, the image size is cut in half. You are, in effect, 
placing more of the image in less space.
Keep this relationship in mind when you need to pay attention to the size of the output image.
These numbers are approximate and 
may differ from actual results.
