Destination list

The Destination list contains the following predefined settings and any custom settings you have saved in the Destination dialog box. Click the arrows on the right to view all of the available settings.

Destination Name	Resolution

The effects of the Destination settings cannot be viewed in the Preview window.

Resolution

Select a scanning resolution for Black & White or Gray/Color.

Note:

When the Pixel Depth setting in the Image Type dialog box is set to Black & White, the Black & White setting takes effect. For other Pixel Depth settings, the Gray/Color setting takes effect.

To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Black & White, select the same resolution setting from the list as you select in the printer driver. To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Gray/Color, select a resolution between 150 and 300 dpi. If you select a higher resolution, the Gray/Color setting requires longer to print, but does not improve the output quality.

The Resolution setting is closely related to the Image Size and Scale settings. If you change them arbitrarily, the resulting image may not be what you expected.

The range of resolution values depends on your product.
