Hello,
For the past couple days I've been using my scanner's doc feeder to scan old statements and documents. I want to digitize such things and shred the papers.
However I just noticed that so far all the files are around 4 GB. Giga. Obviously I made a mistake somewhere.
I've been scanning at 300 dpi and saving as compressed TIF file. Each file averages to around 10MB.
I thought 300 dpi is 1:1 print copy but 10 meg is definitely wrong.
Can someone please explain what settings is normally used to scan documents so you are able to view on the computer AND also print a 1:1 copy.
Appreciate any help and advice, thank you.
