    * Selections Other than Flexible:
    - When the Print (300dpi) option is selected, you can set the output size to match standard paper formats. The scan area is enlarged or reduced to fit the output to the specified paper size. You can set your own output sizes with the [Add/Delete] option.
    - When you select Image display (150 dpi), you can select the Output Size according to its pixel dimensions (pixels are the picture elements used to display an image on a monitor). Since the pixel dimensions correspond to the dimensions of standard computer displays (monitors), you can use the images as "wallpaper" without adjustment. They also correspond to the dimensions to which digital camera images can be set, allowing you to manage and organize your scanned images along with digital camera images. You can specify the pixel dimensions of customized output sizes with the [Add/Delete] option.
