The ScanWizard Pro Context is a powerful tool to help you get the most productivity out of your
scanner, especially if you do many similar scanning jobs. You can save a ScanWizard Pro Context, and
each time you do a similar job, you can then load that Context, make minor adjustments, and finish
your job quickly. The following scenario is presented as an example, but ScanWizard Pro Contexts can
be easily customized to your particular needs.
Suppose you often scan 35 millimeter slides to include in a web site image gallery. All the final images
must be 100 pixels by 80 pixels at 72 dpi. This is the perfect opportunity to streamline your work by
using a ScanWizard Pro Context.
First time:
1. If you are using a dual-bed scanner, load the
appropriate template with multiple slides, and
insert the tray into your scanner's lower bed.
If you are using a flatbed, use a Transparent
Media Adapter.
2. Go to the File menu and choose New
ScanWizard Context. In the dialog box, enter
an appropriate name such as "Slides to Web
Gallery" for your Context. A folder with this
name will appear in the Finder.
3. Select the appropriate scan material type in
the Preview window, and click the Overview
button.
4. Start with the default scan frame.
5. In the Settings window, select 72 dpi as your
resolution, pixel as your unit of measurement,
then type in the appropriate output
dimensions (100 x 80 in this example). Next,
check the Fixed Output Size option to
preserve the output dimensions as the scan
frame changes.
: For an alternative way to
use the ScanWizard Pro Contexts,
see the "How to Use the
SnapTrans™ Templates" scenario
in place of Steps #4 to Step #8.
6. Select the Scan Frame tool from the Toolbar
in the Preview window, and adjust the
flashing marquee of the scan frame to cover
one of the slides.
7. Use the Duplicate button in the Scan Job
window to create multiple copies of this job.
8. Reposition the jobs so that a Scan Frame is
located over each slide to be scanned.
9. Make sure that you correctly set up any
global preferences, such as Color Matching
Setup or Scan Quality.
10.If desired, Prescan the jobs by highlighting
the jobs in the Scan Job window and clicking
the Prescan button in the Preview window.
11. If desired, make the appropriate adjustments
to each job by using the Advanced Image
Correction dialog box and the Prescan image.
12.If you like the Prescan images, click the Scan
button to scan all the jobs.
