For security reasons we cannot copy files onto disks provided by customer.
PPI Option PPI (Pixels Per Inch) determines the file size
and image quality (resolution) of the scan.
150 PPI are low resolution scans with a small file size. They are most often
used when the image is displayed using a computer screen such as on a web page, Power Point
presentation, school report, etc.
300 PPI are medium resolution scans
typically used for print that does not require high resolution such as desktop publishing,
newsprint, reports, etc. Because the file size of these images can be large and they are
not generally used for computer display.
600 PPI are high resolution scans. These are used for
better quality printing and publishing. The file size is very large.
Color Option The number of bits used to create the colors or grayscales
of the image. This does effect the file size and resolution of the image. The more bits
used the larger the file size but the higher the resolution of the image.
8-bit grayscale uses many shades of gray to produce an image.
24-bit RGB uses the Red-Green-Blue color descriptions generally used
by computers and in desktop publishing.
32-bit CMYK uses the Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black color descriptions generally
used in printing.
File Type Option JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) files use a compression
method that enables fast loading of the images.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is created from
the raw scan and is used for high quality output and publishing.
