This section explains the relationship between resolution and scan size when using the machine as a TWAIN scanner.
To specify the scan area or resolution for the machine you are using as a network TWAIN scanner, see the TWAIN driver Help.
You might not be able to scan large originals if the client computer has insufficient memory, is running other applications, or if its operating system has restriction settings in place.
Certain original types and resolution settings can reduce scanning quality.
If [Binary(Text)] or [Binary(Photo)] is selected in [Col./Grad.:]
The scan size determines the maximum possible resolution.
Refer to the table below for the maximum resolution available for each scan size.
