The Scan Job Window

The Scan Job window is an important feature of the scanning
software and provides several key functions in processing
your scans.
A scan job is simply a task that you designate the scanner to
process and scan. For instance, when you first preview an
image, the image as a whole has its own parameters (its own
brightness and contrast setting, resolution, etc.). The whole
image can be treated as one scan job, or you can select a part
of the image, apply different parameters to it, and treat that as
a separate scan job. Scan job 1 can be in color mode, while
scan job 2 can be in grayscale mode.
By making the scan jobs distinct, you can then process each
job separately (apply image-enhancement, change settings,
etc.) and scan them as separate files into your image-editing
software (if the software supports multiple open images).
The number of scan jobs is indicated by the number of titles
in the Scan Job window. Scan jobs marked with a check are
the ones designated to be scanned, and the jobs are scanned in
the order that they appear in the window.

1 The Title area shows the number
of jobs that have been created. In
this example, there are two scan
jobs. Check marks indicate which
job or jobs are to be scanned; the
highlighted title indicates the
current scan job. To rename a scan
job, highlight the title and type over
a new name.
