Check the scanner resolution and color settings on the computer
If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected a
resolution or color setting in the scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and color
affect the following features of scanned images:
● Image clarity
● Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)
● Scan time
● File size
Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).
NOTE: Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.
