Resolution
In scanning, the term resolution refers to how detailed
an image is, usually expressed in dots per inch (dpi).
When you scan an image, you can adjust the
resolution to improve the image, based on how you
plan to output the image.
The best resolution setting for your image depends on
the type of image you’re scanning and your final output
device.
Since a line art or
halftone image
requires only 1 bit of
computer memory for
each pixel (dot), using
either the Line Art or
Black & White
Halftone option will
produce an image
that takes up the least
amount of space
when saved to disk.
