<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Mon, 23 Nov 1998 13:26:27 +0000, "Dr. Andreas Bolsch" &lt;<a href="mailto:a.bolsch@ic.ac.uk">a.bolsch@ic.ac.uk</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Andreas&gt; Well, you're right. But the problem is rather simple: The<br>
Andreas&gt; SE models don't like resolutions below 60dpi. The point<br>
Andreas&gt; is, if you don't specify any resolution at all, the backend<br>
Andreas&gt; reverts to its default which is 18dpi.<br>
<p>
Andreas&gt; I don't know why David changed the default from 100 to 18,<br>
Andreas&gt; maybe just for uniformity. Use '--resolution'.<br>
<p>
The default for the Mustek backend was always 18 dpi. The reason for<br>
using a poor resolution is to "protect the innocent" who types<br>
"scanimage &gt; foo.pnm" without much thinking. With 100dpi resolution,<br>
you'd end up with a file that takes a lot of disk space and a lot of<br>
time to acquire. And if you use xscanimage, you can set and save any<br>
default resolution you want.<br>
<p>
If some scanners can't support 18dpi, we should initialize to the<br>
resolution to the minimum dpi in those cases.<br>
