Fujitsu ScanSnap Image Quality Settings

One of the slightly annoying things about ScanSnap Manager is that in the UI, it doesn’t tell you what the image quality settings relate to in dots per inch (dpi) terms.

If you for whatever reason need to be scanning at a certain dpi, it’s not immediately obvious which to choose.

The information is a bit buried in the Help, so I thought I’d paste it here as well. Hope this helps.

  • Normal (Fastest) (Color: 150dpi, Monochrome: 300dpi)
    Select this setting when you want to scan documents quickly.
  • Better (Faster) (Color: 200dpi, Monochrome: 400dpi)
    Select this setting when you want to scan documents at a high quality.
  • Best (Slow) (Color: 300dpi, Monochrome: 600dpi)
    Select this setting when you want to scan documents at a higher quality.
  • Excellent (Slower) (Color: 600dpi, Monochrome: 1200dpi)
    Select this setting when you want to scan documents at the highest quality.

So which setting(s) should we use for a) something we may need to reprint later, or b) just be able to read on screen?
