RESOLUTION
Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. The higher the resolution, the finer the details, however, higher dpi settings also take longer to scan and produce larger files sizes. Usually the higher resolution settings are used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork.
