** Description changed: I scan typed pages using lineart setting with the resolution set at 300 dpi (and I've also tried at 150 dpi). Yet after scanning when I check edit/properties, it will report that the dpi is 72. The resultant pdf that is saved will typically be much larger than it should be. If the original setting for resolution was 300 dpi, then the image will be over four times the proper size. If the initial resolution is set at 150, then the resultant file will be just over twice the proper size. If the initial resolution is set at 72 dpi, then the resultant file is sized fine, but it looks terrible due to too low a resolution. So, 300 / 72 = 4.1667; 150 / 72 = 2.083; 72/72 = 1. The results for the size of the image and subsequent saved pdf are the same even if I preset the number in the edit/properties box. It still seems that something is defaulting to 72 dpi, and the initial setting of scan resolution in the Scan Mode tab of the of scan document dialogue box seems to only affect the size relative to a default setting of 72 (what this default setting actually represents, I don't know, since I'm just a regular user). The behaviour is it will scan, then pause, then there's a blip and the image has a - larger boundary than it should (IE, when the resolution has been set at - higher than 72). This is different behaviour from the past. Something - is resetting in that moment where there is a blip, I believe. + larger boundary than it should. This is different behaviour from the + past.
