One final note: Please keep in mind that larger file sizes are
created by using higher resolutions and/or higher scaling during
the scan. To keep your file sizes to a minimum, it is a good idea
to only scan at the minimum resolution for your needs. For
example, if you are creating a web page, you will only need to
scan your images at 75dpi. 300dpi is a good resolution for most
home printers. To assure that your prints come out matching the
original’s size, make sure you scan with 100% scaling.
