To Scan:
The ScanPro 1000 is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get scanner/printer. When you have the image on the monitor screen (the total monitor image or a part of the image in the re sized CAPTURE WINDOW) that you want to scan, just click the appropriate export button (See the To Print, To Save, and To Email sections below). A high resolution scan takes about a second and includes all of our current settings.
The ScanPro 1000 uses graphic buttons to control the features of the scanner. Use the buttons to adjust the image before you export it.
RESOLUTION
Resolution, measured in dpi, affects image appearance. Images scanned at a higher resolution (dpi) captures more information making the image appear better, but also takes up more disk space for storage. It is suggested that scans be mae at 300dpi as a balance between image quality and file size.
