DPI (printing)

Dots Per Inch. The number of printer dots that can be printed in one inch.

The printer's resolution is defined by the number of dots per inch:

lower resolution = less dots per inch

Higher resolution = more dots per inch.

Dots Per Inch is completely determined at scanning time, and is not to be confused with the resolution of a display device, which is typically measured in pixels.
