The Preview button gives you a preliminary view of the image
on your scanner.
Previewing an image gives you greater flexibility, as it allows you
to apply various controls to the preview image before actually
scanning it in. With the preview image displayed, you can apply
image enhancements or crop the image before performing the
final scan.
The Scan button lets you scan in the image in your scanner and
delivers it to your image-editing software. The scanned image is
based on the specifications you have chosen in the Settings win-
dow and on controls you may have applied to the preview image
if a preview was performed.
If you wish to keep the scan module (the CS-600 Software Plug-
in) after a scan is completed, check the command Retain Scan
Module After Scan, located in the Preferences menu in the
Preview window.
For applications that support scan-module retention, the Plug-in
windows reappear after a scan is delivered to the image-editing
software.
The rulers on both sides of the preview window help you with
operations that need precise measurement and alignment of your
image.
The unit of measurement in the rulers is determined by the unit
of measurement selected in the Image Dimension controls, locat-
ed in the Settings window. Depending on your chosen unit of
measurement, the rulers can mark off measurement in these
units: inch, centimeter, millimeter, point, and pixel. The pixel
option is dimmed if the selected resolution unit is lpi.
The rulers will change when you alter the dimensions of the pre-
view area in the Preview Setup command (in the Preferences
menu). For example, if you change the preview area size from
5"x 8" to 6"x 9", the rulers will change accordingly.
