Prescanning An Image - Brother MFC-5100C Owner's Manual

PreScanning an Image

PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version of the
image will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image so you can see how it
will look. The PreScan button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from
the image. When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Start button from the scanner window
to scan the image.
How to Use PreScan to Adjust an Image:
1
Place the original face up in the Automatic Document Feeder, or face down on the glass platen.
2
In the TWAIN-32 Brother MFL Pro Colour Setup dialog box, click the PreScan button.
The entire original will be scanned into the PC and will appear in the Scanning Area.
