300 dpi is the setting you should use max unless its for scanning 35mm slides, then go to that high resolution.

thank you very much, i bet this is the problem lol

dunno what the hell i was thinking, just went with what the machine said it was capable of.

PS, im assuming PPI and DPI is the same thing?

thanks again KRL!

oh yea, it flew right through the scans!

thanks so much, but sure this is enough for a 5x7 or possibly a 8x10?

thanks so much!

What are you scanning (photo, negative, slide) and what is the output (professional lab services, Kodak prints or inkjet)?

For a 5x7 print, I usually scan at 300 or 600 dpi and get good results for print and photos.

Should be ok, unless you are scanning something really small.
