Hi taylanguney,

When using the IJ Scan Utility, to scan at a higher DPI, please use the ScanGear button.

Please follow these steps:

1.  Open the IJ Scan Utility.

2.  Click the ScanGear button.

3.  Click the Advanced Mode tab in the upper right.

4.  Select your desired resolution from the Output Resolution drop down.  If your desired resolution is not listed, manually enter a value within the range of 25 dpi to 19200 dpi (in 1 dpi increments).

More information regarding Output Settings can be found in the manual, here:

you have to go to settings for ScanGear.  in there is a checkbox that says something like allow for large scans.  once that is checked, you can TYPE 4800 dpi.  however, the limitation is 50000x50000 pixels or 4GB, whichever limit you hit first.  so at 4800dpi, the max size i can scan is 6.7 inches x 9.2 inches.  that file will be just under 4 GB as a JPEG.  TIFF will be astronomically larger I assume.  then in a photo program, you can stitch them together into a bigger image.
