*IMAGES SCANNED ON SCANMAKER 9600XL™(non-photogrammetric)
Description: 36-bit, single-pass flatbed scanner
Optical resolution: 600 x 1200 Dpi
Maximum contact scan size: 12"x17"
 
**Estimated time for typical file transfer via modem at 28.8. JPEG files can be compressed to decrease file size.  In Adobe Photoshop™ - a "10" is the least amount of image quality loss, but a larger file size.   In Adobe -  "1" is a smaller file size but a greater image quality loss.

***1814.TIF SCANNED AT 14 MICRONS (1814 DPI) BY OUTSIDE SOURCE ON A PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SCANNER.
***WIDTH 9.294" - HEIGHT 9.294" - 256 GRAY
To calculate file size:
Megabytes-per-square-inch = (25,400 ÷ scan-resolution-microns)2 ÷ 1,000,000
Multiply the megabytes per square inch (see above) by the number of square inches being scanned from the contact print, or a selected portion, to get the (approximate) total file size. This file size formula is for the tiff format.
