Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50 Document Scanner

The best scanning resolution depends on the purpose of the scan. Keep in mind that higher resolution settings increase the file size and scanning time, so do not select a higher resolution than you need. See the following table for the appropriate resolution setting to use.

What you will do with the scanned image	Suggested scan resolution
Send via e-mail, upload to web, or view only on the screen	100 to 150 dpi
Print	200 to 400 dpi
Print or convert documents to editable text (OCR)	200 to 400 dpi
Fax	200 dpi
Enlarge after scanning at 100%	Increase the resolution setting by same amount you will increase image size after scanning. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi, but you want to increase the image size by 200%, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.
