Prescan the Image
A Prescan is a quick low-resolution scan of the entire original
image. From this low-resolution scan you can get a clearer idea
of the image area you want to include when you click Scan. To
Prescan, the steps are:
1. Place the document face down on the scan window glass.
2. Click the Prescan button in the F/B Scanner (EPP) dialog
box. After the scanner has scanned the document, the scanned
image will appear in the Preview Window. From the Prescan
image, you can now set the exact image area you wish to
include in your final scan.
Set the Image Size
Use the Crop Frame in the Preview Window to outline the image
area you wish to scan. Click one of the sides or corners of the
Crop Frame and drag it out or in to the desired length and width.
To move the entire Crop Frame, position the mouse cursor inside
it and drag with the (left) mouse button. Only the area inside the
Crop Frame will be included in the resulting scanned image when
you click Scan. The size information at the bottom of the dialog
box is automatically updated when the Crop Frame is resized.
Using the Zoom Tool
The Zoom tool doubles the magnification of the image area. In
magnified view, you can then drag the Crop Frame to the exact
area you want to scan.
Set the Scan Mode
The Scan Mode determines how the scanner will read the image.
Select Color to capture images in 24-bit color (16.7 million
colors). Select Gray to capture images in 256 grayscale. Images
scanned in Halftone are produced by dithering. When you wish to
scan text for OCR or line art, select Line Art.
Set the Resolution
Resolution is a measure of how much image detail information
the scanner is to capture in a scan. Resolution is set by dragging
the scroll bar to the desired resolution, clicking the arrow at the
end of the slider until you have reached the desired resolution, or
by clicking inside the resolution box and typing in the resolution.
