One final note
: Please keep in mind that larger file sizes are
created by using higher resolutions and/or higher scaling during
the scan. To keep your file sizes to a minimum, it is a good idea
to only scan at the minimum resolution for your needs. For
example, if you are creating a web page, you will only need to
scan your images at 75dpi. 300dpi is a good resolution for most
home printers. To assure that your prints come out matching the
original’s size, make sure you scan with 100% scaling.

Note: The Astra 1220S SCSI scanners do not use this feature.
Instead, they will automatically turn the lamp off after about thirty
minutes of CPU inactivity. Some systems send a query signal down
the SCSI chain, or other devices on the chain may emit signals. As
long as the scanner is receiving a signal, it will not shut itself off. If
the scanner is not shutting off, wait until the computer is shut
down, or you can plug it into a dedicated surge protector and use
it’s power switch to turn the power on and off..

ample, if you are creating a web page, you will only need to scan
your images at 75dpi. 300dpi is a good resolution for printing on
most home printers
. For your prints to come out matching the

Instead, they will automatically turn the lamp off after about thirty

the SCSI chain, or other devices on the chain may emit signals. As
long as the scanner is receiving a signal, it will not shut itself off. If
the scanner is not shutting off, wait until the computer is shut
down, or you can plug it into a dedicated surge protector and use
it’s power switch to turn the power on and off..

One final note
: Please keep in mind that larger file sizes are
created by using higher resolutions and/or higher scaling during
the scan. To keep your file sizes to a minimum, it is a good idea
to only scan at the minimum resolution for your needs. For
example, if you are creating a web page, you will only need to
scan your images at 75dpi. 300dpi is a good resolution for most
home printers. To assure that your prints come out matching the
original’s size, make sure you scan with 100% scaling.
