Option Description of function
Live Preview This option applies only to color scanners. • If Live Preview is enabled,
the next option, Color Preview , will be dimmed.
If Live Preview is on:
• Changes you make to the preview image are shown instantly (for
example, switching from color to grayscale).
• If you're scanning in grayscale and live preview is on, the image
appears in color unless you specifically change image type in the Type
box (in the Settings window) to a grayscale mode. This happens
because Live Preview always does previews in color.
If Live Preview is off:
Your preview will be in accordance with your image type (i.e., if you have a
grayscale image, your preview is in grayscale; with a color image, you get
a color preview). If you apply any image-enhancement control, the
changes will not be apparent until you do a new preview (click on the
Preview button again). Turn off Live Preview if you're previewing or
scanning in grayscale to speed up the process.

Color Preview

This option applies only to three-pass color scanners, and is enabled only
if Live Preview is not selected. If this option is turned on, the image will be
scanned in whatever scan mode is specified in the Type box (in the
Settings window). If it is turned off, the image will be scanned in grayscale.
This option allows you to choose your preview mode.

Fast Preview

• If Fast Preview is on: The preview is process is faster, but the quality of
the preview image is a little coarse.
• If Fast Preview is off: The preview process is slower, but the quality of
the preview image is improved.
The Fast Preview option is a hardware-related feature and may or may not
be available depending on your scanner model.
