Summary
This is an example of how scanner and printer manufacturers attempt to exceed their hardware physical limitations by using skewed resolutions that don't align on a true square grid.

These squashed resolutions like 600x1200 cannot really duplicate the quality available at a true 1200x1200, and the results are often only marginally better than the true square 600x600 resolution of the hardware.
