My scan area was and usually is less than a paper (usually A4) with a text

"Specified size".

I use Paint for editing 1 bit b&w drawings, not for scanning/printing
photographs.

Why not just print an image at 100% and measure it? Also use the Image |
Attributes menu item to get the size in pixels.

DPI is the number of pixels divided by the number of inches.

If you get 96 DPI or there abouts, it's 96 DPI! Another possibility is 72
DPI. Other values are rare unless you have a super duper high resolution
monitor.
