What scanning resolution should I use to get the best results when I print the scanned image?

  • When you use the options for the Scan button on the RX500 and the functions on EPSON Smart Panel, the software selects the best settings automatically. Here are some recommended settings for different types of scans.

    1. If your final file is for on-screen viewing (for example, on a web page or in an e-mail message), select 96 dpi for your resolution.

    2. If you are enlarging your image, you must manually increase the resolution (dpi) proportionally to maintain the resolution of your original.
