The Destination setting allows you to specify the application or the output device for which the scanned image is intended. Use the Destination list to select a predefined or user-defined settings, or use the Destination button to customize Destination settings.

Destination list

The Destination list contains the following predefined settings and any custom settings you have saved in the Destination dialog box. Click the arrows on the right to view all the available settings.

If you are using an EPSON Stylus printer and are printing scanned images with the Economy, Normal, or Fine Print Quality settings in your printer software, selecting EPSON Stylus Printer (Fine) is recommended.

Destination button

The Destination button opens the Destination dialog box, where you can change Resolution settings and add your custom settings to the Destination list, as described below.

Click the Destination button. The following dialog box appears.

Note:

When the Thumbnail preview is activated, the Destination button does not appear.

To save the settings you made, type a new name in the Destination Name box, and then click Save. To delete a custom Destination setting, select the setting name then click Delete.

Destination Name

Predefined and custom setting names appear in the Destination Name list.

Resolution

Select a scanning resolution for Black & White or Gray/Color. You can select one of the dpi settings available in the list box, or you can type your own setting in increments of 1 dpi up to 6400 dpi. The maximum resolution available is 12800 dpi.

Note:

When the Pixel Depth setting in the Image Type dialog box is set to Black & White, the Black & White setting takes effect. For other Pixel Depth settings, the Gray/Color setting takes effect.

To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Black & White, select the same resolution setting from the list as you select in the printer driver. To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Gray/Color, select a resolution between 150 and 300 dpi. If you select a higher resolution, the Gray/Color setting requires longer to print, but does not improve the output quality.

The Resolution setting is closely related to the Image Size and Scale settings. If you change them arbitrarily, the resulting image may not be what you expected.
