Epson Perfection 1260 Scan for Email - Images Too Large
I have tried three times to scan 7 documents for Email using my Epson
Perfection 1260 scanner. The first time the resolution was 150. Resultant images I emailed to myself were much to large. Tried 110 resolution. Still too large. Tried 100 resolution. Still to large. What I want is actual size. These are 8.5 x 11 documents. How can I get them scanned at original size? With each of the three efforts I had to start from scratch and scan all 7 documents instead of being able to manipulate them until they were the right size. Is there anyway around this? Thanks so much. Time is of the essence. John |

You might get better responses by posting to comp.periphs.scanners instead
of this newsgroup which is for printers. However, I will ask what type of document setting are you using for the scanner? Is it color photo, color document, b/w photo, line art, b/w text, etc...? Have you edited them with a photo editor and set the image size? As a last resort you might want to put the documents into a pdf file. If you don't have a pdf application, this freebie is great www.primopdf.com. -- Ron wrote in message oups.com...

Document setting is b/w text, etc.
I'm getting too tired to deal with this any more tonight. Downloaded and installed primopdf. That was a mistake. It planted no less than 11 shortcuts on my desktop and I found the program not terribly intuitive. I am simply trying to scan 7 8.5 x 11 black and white documents (invoices) and email the scanned documents. All I want is for the documents attached to my email be the same size as the original. I've tried the manual approach and the automatic approach. I'll give it another shot in the morning. Thanks very much for try to help a hapless non-scanner. John |

Most computer displays use between 72 and 100 dpi so using a resolution
within that area will provide something approaching the original size. The problem is there is really no standard for screen display, it depends upon the resolution the monitor is set to, and which manufacturer your computer is made by, since Apples uses a differing resolution than PCs do. Try 72 dpi and see if that works. If you are mailing the images elsewhere, their screen resolution may differ from your own.

Epson Perfection 1260 Scan for Email - Images Too Large
When you say you want them to be the same size, I'm not sure where you
want them to be the same size. Do you mean showing on the screen of a web browser or email client program, or do you mean when printed? If, for instance you are sending them to someone, who will then print them on a 300 dpi laser printer, then you need to scan them at 300 dpi on your scanner so they may print them back to the 300 dpi laser printer at the same size. If you want them to print the document, I suggest you scan at at least 300 dpi so the text is easy from them to read when printed. However, if you want the image to be about the same size on their display as it is in real life, that gets trickier, as I mentioned before.

Thanks for your help, Jon. 96 dpi worked. The recipient received them
and printed them out. She reported they were fine. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. John |
