Title: Scanning  photo’s  to “my pictures” file
Post by: ned1 on February 14, 2005, 06:42:51 AM

 :-[  In the past I have been scanning photos without a problem, But this time I cannot get a good print form  my pictures folder after I `ve scanned them in, it saves in jpeg into the folder, if I print from the scanner the print is ok, but if I “save as” then print it its no good,  in trying to find out the problem I found that the size of the file was 33.9 kb but the ones that I have done before (some time ago) where like 600kb, and printed out fine.
Can any one tell how to sort this out please  ???

Check your scanner settings. Scan rate (dpi) is much to low for photographs.

When you print directly from the scanner, you are in copy mode, not scan mode. There is a very big difference. Check your scan mode settings.

Hi, I  Checked the scan settings, which is 150dpi,
which is default for photos on the scanner !!
