"... A scanner stepper motor has to move the light bar at much slower speeds if it is scanning at the higher optical resolutions. This is probably why manufacturers use software emulations, the performance of the scanner is not effected ..."

Don, my 3-in-one takes twice as long to scan at 1200 as it does at 600. Technically, does that have any significance?

Carl,
Yes, it means that it is using it's optical resolution and not using software to emulate a higher resolution. Your scanner has an optical resolution of 1200 dpi (I looked it up online.)
Don

Edit: better quality scanners have optical resolutions north of 4800 dpi, some go up to 7200 dpi.

As you can see, a bunch of the shrinking violets in this Forum just gave you a snoot of info (assuming you login again). Hope you stick around SCF. It's a great education hanging out with the many very experienced members who are often generous with their help.

Happy stamping! And DON'T get frustrated This is supposed to be fun and relaxing!
