The minimum scanning resolution required to scan a standard sized book page with crisp 12 pt text for running through OCR software is 300 dpi. This resolution ensures that the text is captured with enough detail and clarity for accurate OCR processing. Higher resolutions such as 600 dpi, 1600 dpi, or 2600 dpi may provide even better quality, but they are not necessary for achieving crisp text recognition. Lower resolutions like 150 dpi may result in loss of detail and make it difficult for the OCR software to accurately recognize the text.

The minimum scanning resolution required to scan a map with very small and fine details for close examination on a webpage is 600 dpi. This resolution ensures that the small and fine details of the map are captured accurately and can be viewed clearly on the webpage. Higher resolutions such as 2600 dpi or 1600 dpi may provide even more detail, but 600 dpi is the minimum requirement for close examination on a webpage. Lower resolutions such as 300 dpi or 150 dpi may result in loss of detail and clarity.

The minimum scanning resolution required to scan a 35mm slide for creating a crisp 20X30 inch print/poster is 2600 dpi. This is because a higher dpi (dots per inch) resolution will capture more detail and result in a higher quality print. The larger the print size, the higher the dpi needed to maintain sharpness and clarity. In this case, the 2600 dpi resolution is necessary to ensure that the 35mm slide is scanned with enough detail to produce a crisp and clear print at the desired size.

The minimum scanning resolution required to scan a large 16 X 20 in. poster for presentation on a webpage is 150 dpi. This resolution is sufficient to capture enough detail and clarity for online viewing without creating unnecessarily large file sizes. Higher resolutions like 1600 dpi or 2600 dpi would result in larger files that may not significantly improve the image quality when viewed on a webpage. 600 dpi or 300 dpi resolutions are also higher than necessary for online viewing, making 150 dpi the most appropriate choice.
