The scanning process helps to store paper prints, slides and negatives in a digital photo formats on computer. The scanning process can be done on three types of prints

- Paper prints: These are the most usually used formats. The sizes such as 4x6 and 5x7 are used commonly. These scanned paper prints cannot be kept for a longer time due to their deterioration process. The scanned prints of paper may tear or bend. Sometimes turns in yellow color and color gets faded with longer storage periods.

- Negatives: These are also known as film. Normally, 35mm prints are used to make paper prints.

Resolution: This is mainly gauged by the number of dots produced by the scanner per inch. 1200 Dpi is the usual resolution for many types of scanners. However, the scanners can be adjusted to work at various types of resolutions. The larger sized photos can be scanned by using high resolution but the process is slow. For most of scan prints, 300-600 dpi resolution is sufficient. But the resolution type depends on the type of the document. We can use higher resolution to get good results.

Speed: The scanning speed differs depending on the number of documents or photos you want to scan and to take scan prints. If there are more images to scan then the speed get decreased. At minimum resolution, you can take good and quick scans. For new scan printing machines, the speed is measured by counting the number of pages scanned per minute.
