Does fooling the scanner apply to using inkjet as well as laser printers?

to tell the Scanner install program that yes you do have 3000dpi or some
other very fine dot pitch printer. This will help the scanner to default to
high res mode. Some scanner software will make it difficult to scan in much
over 300DPI if it thinks you have a 300 DPI printer. ( 600 DPI divided by
the three colors equals 100 dpi actually printed) so why scan in at a higher
resolution and waste memory etc? Re install your scanner software if
necessary to get high resolution scans to start with.>>
