Good webinar for beginners.
One important point that was left out is how to trade resolution for image size. If you have a small image (and I have some an inch square) similar to slides they need to be scanned at very high resolution, say 2400, so later you have the option of making the size larger by making the resolution smaller, 300, for instance.
I also have an Espon scanner so I see the same screen options that you showed. In Home Mode, when I choose 'Resolution' the 'Target Size' is greyed out at 'Original'. On small pictures, especially, this is not going to work well.
Also, if you're going to print photos, the scans need to be much larger that what you need to view them on your screen.
