We recommend ranges between 75-300 dpi in general. Only use a higher scanning resolution (301 dpi and above) for smaller images when detail must be captured in a small area because it will be enlarged later. Laser and Commercial Printers: When printing an image to a laser printer or commercial printing press, it is important to understand the process in terms of line screen (a. k. a. , LPI). Line screens are the number of screen lines per inch when an image is halftoned. Halftoning is the process of breaking the image down into a series of dots to reproduce continuoustone art when printing on a press. A general rule when printing in one of these two manners is to scan one and a half to two-times the amount of the line screen. Laser printers that have resolution ranges of 300 and 600 dpi will have line screens between 50 and 100. Typical commercial printing is done at an average line screen of about 150. Therefore, an optimal scanning resolution would be from 225 to 300 dpi. · · · 17 Chapter II. Load a document or image into the scanner. Click on the Fax Utility button (second from left).
