It's 2400 dpi and it's original size is 11x17.
At 2400 DPI, an 11 x 17 image would be 26400 x 40800 pixels, so it's no wonder your file is 1.6 GB.
If your intent is to use it for a Poser texture, Poser won't handle anything above 4096 by 4096.
You'd be better off scanning it at around 150 DPI, which would give you a 1650 x 2550 pixel image; or even 300 DPI would give you 3300 x 5100 pixels, which would be a lot more manageable to start with.
