·These values are only recommendations and should be raised if the resulting image is rough or you need to view fine details.  
·To scan a large-size color image with a higher resolution (usually over 600 dpi) increases scan time and file size substantially and requires huge system resources. Therefore, a higher resolution for color scanning is recommended only when you scan a small area.
