Troubleshooting Tip #0216
Scanner resolution for printing

The Line Screen Frequency for EPSON Stylus printers can be calculated using
the following formula:



Printing Resolution       1
 ________________    X   ____  = Line Screen Frequency
 
        3                 2



You should set the MINIMUM scan resolution at 1/3rd of the desired print
resolution. For example, for a print resolution of 720dpi, you will need to
set the scan resolution to 240dpi or higher. If you are going to increase
the size of the printed image then you should scan at a higher dpi
resolution.
