 in a large number of Ways. Some images are enlarged and then printed, some are reduced and printed, some are printed at the same size as the original. Some images are displayed on computer displays, some images are faxed. Some of the images are printed on very high-resolution color printers, and some are printed on lower resolution black and white printers. The end use of the image helps determine the resolution and data type needed for the scan. Typically the resolution of the scan is proportional to the resolution of the printer to be used. For example a scan to be printed on a 1200 dot per inch (dpi) printer would need to be scanned at a higher resolution than a scan to be printed on a 300 dpi printer. Typically computer displays have much lower resolutions than printers, therefore the image scanned for a computer display need not be scanned at as high a resolution as an image scanned for a printer.
The end use of the image also helps determines the image type for the scan. A scan to be printed on a black and white printer would not be scanned as a color image because it would be three times the size of the black and white image. The image type can also affect the required scan resolution. Typically a color image needs a lower scanned resolution than a line art image.
Typically scanners can enlarge or reduce (scale) the output size of an image. The amount of enlargement or reduction of the image affects the optimum resolution for the scan. The required resolution is typically proportional to the amount of enlargement. For example an image to be enlarged by 3 times would require a resolution 3 time greater than an image that was to be printed at the same size as the original image.
Setting the optimal resolution and image type to give the best quality image while minimizing memory requirements is a complex task. Scanning has moved into areas where non-experts do the scanning. Selecting the optimal resolution and image type has become a task for the scanning solution and not for the user. Scanning solutions currently make use of the destination or end use of the scanned image and the final size or scaling of the image to select the resolution and image type. For example the user would choose between destinations that include a plurality of printer types, the computer display screen, and fax types. The scanning solution, using the known output resolutions and capabilities of these destinations and the final image size, would select the optimal resolution and image type for the scanned image.
Today scanned images often are used more than one time. The scanned image stored on a computer
in a large number of Ways. Some images are enlarged and then print, some are reduce and printed, some are printed at the same size as the master. Some images are displayed on computer display, some images are faxed. Some of the effigy are printed on very high - solution color printers, and some are print on humble resolution black and white printers. The end function of the image helps determine the solution and data type needed for the scan. Typically the resolution of the scan is proportional to the resolving power of the printer to be used. For example a scan to be printed on a 1200 dot per inch (dpi) printer would necessitate to be scanned at a higher resolution than a scan to be printed on a 300 dpi printer. Typically computer displays have much lower resolutions than printers, therefore the image scanned for a computer display need not be scanned at as eminent a resolution as an image read for a printer. 
 The end use of the image also avail determines the image type for the scan. A scan to be printed on a bootleg and white printer would not be scanned as a color image because it would be three times the size of the black and white image. The image type can also affect the command scan resolution. Typically a semblance image needs a lower scanned resolution than a line artwork image. 
 Typically scanners can enlarge or reduce (scale) the output size of an image. The amount of enlargement or decrease of the image affects the optimum resolution for the scan. The required resolution is typically proportional to the sum of enlargement. For model an image to be enlarge by 3 times would want a resolution 3 time greater than an image that was to be printed at the like size as the original image. 
 Setting the optimal resoluteness and image type to give the best quality persona while minimizing memory requirements is a complex job. Scanning has moved into areas where non - expert do the scanning. Selecting the optimal resolution and image type has become a task for the scanning solution and not for the user. Scanning solutions currently induce habit of the finish or end use of the scanned image and the final size or scaling of the image to select the resolution and persona type. For example the user would choose between finish that admit a plurality of printer types, the computer display screen, and fax types. The scanning solution, using the known output signal resolutions and capabilities of these finish and the final image size, would select the optimal resolution and image character for the scanned effigy.
