Page 8: Basic Scenarios
Basic Scenarios This section provides three basic scanning scenarios with ScanWizard DI, including scanning a stack of paper, scanning a single-sheet document, and performing multiple-frame scanning. Details on how to adjust images are discussed in later chapters. A. How to Scan a Stack of Paper 1. - Page 9 If ScanWizard DI is launched as a stand-alone program, the scanned image can be saved after the scan to a file, opened in an image-editing program, or sent to a printer. Scanning settings Image type Image correction settings For preview purposes only, take note of the additional notes below: 1.

Page 18: Toolbar
Toolbar The toolbar has buttons for executing certain tasks. The toolbar includes Select Frame, Pan, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Create Subframe, and Delete Subframe. Select Frame tool The Select Frame tool allows you make the frame selection and adjust the size of the frame for enclosing your final scan. -
Page 19: Zoom Out Tool
Zoom Out tool The Zoom Out tool reduces your view of the preview image, allowing you to set the scan frame with greater precision. Only the view size of the preview image is changed; the actual output size of the image remains the same. The reduction levels decrease from 400%, 300%, 200%, to 100%. -
Page 20: Scan Source
The maximum dimension of the preview size depends on the bed size of your scanner or is controlled by the ADF . Paper Size options include: A3, B4, Legal, Letter, A4, B5, A5, Full Scan Area, and Auto-crop; default is A4. -
Page 21: Rotate
When dealing with resolution, remember to distinguish between optical resolution and interpolated resolution. Optical resolution is the “real” resolution as measured by the scanner’s optics. Interpolated resolution is software-enhanced resolution and can be useful for enlarging very small images or for printing line art to obtain superior results. -
Page 22: Frame Settings
Frame Settings Allows you to set different frame settings. The options for frame property settings include: Attribute, Coordinate Position (X, Y), Image Size (W, H), Unit of Measurement, Image Correction tools, Default button, and Advanced buttons. Attribute The Attribute allows you to select the image type of the selected frame. Options include Photo, Line Art, and Text. -
Page 23: Coordinate Position (X,Y)
Coordinate Position (X, Y) The Coordinate Position shows the X/Y coordinates of the selected frame, starting from the upper left corner of the frame in the preview window. To move the selected frame to another position, enter the values manually in the X and Y edit boxes;... -
Page 24: Image Correction Settings
Image Correction Settings Image correction tools let you adjust the image attributes in ScanWizard DI. Work with the image correction tools to see how they optimize your results. ScanWizard DI supports these image correction tools: • Threshold • Brightness/Contrast • Hue/Saturation •... -
Page 25: Threshold
Threshold The Threshold control is active only when the Attribute setting of the selected frame image is Line Art. The default Threshold is preset to 128. To change the default Threshold setting, you should disable the “Auto Threshold” setting in the Advanced Setting window. To do this, click the Advanced... button to open its window, uncheck “Auto Threshold”, and click OK. -
Page 26: Brightness/Contrast
Brightness/Contrast The Brightness/Contrast control is active only when the Attribute setting of the selected frame image is Photo. Brightness/Contrast lets you control the brightness and contrast levels of the selected frame image. Increasing the brightness makes all tones in the image lighter. Contrast, on the other hand, is the range between the darkest and lightest shades in the image, and increasing the contrast makes for greater separation between the darkest and lightest areas of the image. -
Page 27: Sharpen
Sharpen The Sharpen filters let you apply or create special sharpening effects to your selected frame images. The Sharpen filters include None, Sharpen, Sharpen More, Edge Enhancement, and Unsharp Masking. In using any of the sharpen filters, keep in mind that the image you obtain in the preview window may differ from the way the image appears when you finally scan it in. -
Page 28: Unsharp Masking
Unsharp Masking The Unsharp Masking filter is used to adjust the contrast of edge detail, creating the illusion of more image sharpness. This filter can be useful for refocusing an image that has become blurry from interpolation or scanning, and it is an essential tool for doing CMYK color separation. -
Page 29: Descreen
Descreen The Descreen feature lets you remove moiré patterns from printed materials. Moirés occur when you scan a screened original (mostly reflective or previously printed material, such as pictures from a newspaper or magazine). These patterns appear to the naked eye like a series or grid of dots or as shown in the example below. Before To set the screen for your needs, follow the steps below: 1. -
Page 30: Default Button
Whether or not the tabs for optional functions can be seen is determined by the scanner you are using. This means that if your scanner (e.g., ArtixScan DI 6020) implements the endorser function, double feeds, or MICR function, these tabs can be seen in this window;... -
Page 31: Lamp Filter
The Lamp Filter function allows you to remove an unwanted color cast (i.e., green, red, or blue) from your originals. For example, to eliminate a greenish color cast, select Green as your lamp filter. For some scanner models (i.e., ArtixScan DI 6020), only the green and red filter options are available. -
Page 32: Endorser
“Main Frame”. Enable Endorser: This enables the scanner to print the endorser string on the backside of the scanned document. If unchecked, the endorser string will not be printed. The default is unchecked. -
Page 33: Double Feed
If selected, the scanning will stop and a beep sounds when double-feed errors caused by this factor occur during scanning. For details on how to remove double-feeds from the tray, refer to the Microtek Installation and Operation Manual. -
Page 34: Micr (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition)
MICR function and the current working frame is “Main Frame”. Magnetic ink character recognition: This enables the scanner to convert MICR codeline into a text string. If unchecked, a scanned MICR codeline will not be recognized from the document. The default is unchecked. -
