It takes a bit of staring at the various controls before you realize that you generally only have to change one value on this panel, the one labeled “res” which is really the DPI value you want, assuming you having fiddled with any of the other adjustments on this panel. Supplied software is awkward, ICE isn’t a big benefit, works better with Silverfast or VueScan software, takes some time to find optimal setup. Subscribe to RSS feed.
