Magnifying Lens tool
Usage: To zoom

The Magnifying Lens tool enlarges your view of the preview
image, allowing you to set the scan frame with greater preci-
sion if you need to. Only your view of the preview image is
changed; the actual size of the image remains unaffected.
Each click of the lens tool magnifies or reduces by a factor of
2. Thus, the magnification levels increase from 100% to
200%, to 400%, to 800%, and to the maximum 1600% (see
Note below). When you reach the maximum magnification
factor, the center of the lens tool will appear empty.
If the portion that you want to magnify includes most of the
preview area, the lens tool will magnify the view only slightly.
To solve this, enlarge the size of the preview area (through the
Preview Setup command), or create a smaller selection area.
If the Information window is open, the zoom level will

be indicated. This means you can also zoom in by selecting
the appropriate zoom level in the Information window.
