Scanning

How To Scan

To begin scanning, make sure your computer is connected to your scanner. 

Lift the scanner's lid and place any objects you wish to scan onto the copy screen, close the lid gently to avoid moving the object out of desired position. 

On your computer or scanner, select the resolution in which you wish to scan. The higher the dpi (dots per inch) count, the sharper and more detailed the image.

Save the image onto your computer.

Best Suited Resolutions for each Purpose

The best resolutions for web would be between 72-96 dpi, simply because it maintains a small enough file (image) to be transferred quickly and easily through emails. It would also allow web pages to load much quicker to avoid crashing browsers.

A dpi between 150-200 is best suited for A4 prints, any dpi lower than that will result in pixelated images due to being stretched into an A4 size.

A 300 dpi is best suited for fashion presentation through glossy magazines and posters. This resolution gives the images brilliant quality to make the presentations attractive to its intended audience.
