sets the number of dots per inch scanned from your original document. Selecting
a larger number will make finer detail visible, but will create larger files
and may take longer to scan.

| Type | Specifies the amount of information to record for each pixel to be scanned for the current preset. The options 24 bit color and 8 bit gray record more detailed information about an image than does Monochrome, but they create larger files and may take longer to scan. |
