Printed image to be 8x8 inches, so we specify a percent scaling factor to Print at 150 dpi, we set that here for our printer. We set that, probably with the mouse on the preview window. We know the photo's Input area we want to scan, so This Microtek Setting Window shows we are scanning aĤx4 inch photo area, and scaling by 200% to print double size asĨx8 inches at 150 dpi. Scan resolution will be calculated and the image scaled to this sizeĬhange at the specified printing resolution for the printer. The film size by perhaps 1000% or 2000% when printed, but flatbed numbersĪre normally smaller, maybe 50% or 200% (half size or double size). Some film scanners call this field Magnification, enlarging Scanner's resolution setting at 200 or 300 dpi, whatever is appropriateįor your printer, and instead use the Output Scaling field to modify the

It does not work for printing, you'll always Scan, do NOT change the scanning resolution setting like you would toĬhange size on the screen. So, if it is desired to scale the image's printed size during the Printing, then this effect is what you will see, how it works. If you change the scaling away from 100% for That output image will be scaled to print at the specified 300ĭpi, we asked for that. The indicated Output size in inches at 50% is half size of the To create the right number of pixels to print half size at 300ĭpi. Now scan at 50% of that 300 dpi value, or at 150 dpi scanning resolution,

Resolution is still the printing resolution. If we change the scale factor to say 50%, then the specified 300 dpi At 100%, the image is also scaled to print at 300 If we scan at 300 dpi atġ00%, it scans at 300 dpi x 100% = 300 dpi. Is OK to think of it as the scanning resolution. The printing resolution, therefore they are the same numerically, and it If the scaling factor is 100%, then the scanning resolution is 100% of
