Canoscan LiDE 220 maximum scan resolution

[vincentalan]

First post, please be gentle.

I just bought a new LiDE 220, and I'm shaking it down before I give it to my Dad, who does very detailed artwork.

I cannot find any place in the (Windows) GUI where i can raise the resolution past 1200. My Mac's native scanning utility will recognize both the 4800ppi and the 9600 (interpolated) ppi settings.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Hi - just encountered the same problem with my Canoscan LiDE 220 and what fixed it is: Open Canon IJ Scangear Starter EX > Advanced Mode then under the PREVIEW button at the bottom there's a PREFERENCES button. That menu has an option under SCAN to Enable Larger Image Scans. Check that box. It worked for me. Scanned at 2000dpi when before I was limited to 1200.
