When scanning for looking at on your computer screen... you only need to worry with pixel dimensions. Most computer monitors displays 96 pixels per inch. For sake sake of ease round this off to 100 ppi. So, if you want an image to appear approximately 1 1/2 by 2 inches on a web page, scan it at 150 by 200 pixels.

Each interface is slightly different, but they all have a resolution setting you can adjust. Either ppi or dpi. Set the resolution to 96 or 100 and set the dimension units to pixels. Then you can adjust the size percentage values to get the image to the desired pixel dimensions. Just make sure the values you take into consideration are the output pixel dimensions.
