Overview Setup - Microtek ArtixScan 4500t Reference Manual

Overview Setup

This command lets you set the area you want to overview off the scanner bed
and provides some overview options as well.
By default, ScanWizard Pro overviews the maximum scan area as determined by
your scanner model's bed size. You can, however, customize the overview area
so that the scanner consistently overviews only the specific dimensions you have
in mind. For example, if your maximum scan area is 8.5" x 14", you can
customize the overview area so that it consistently overviews, say, 4" x 8" of the
bed size.
As a rule of thumb, it is best to use the default maximum settings. You should
change the overview area only if your subsequent overview is too large to be
shown in entirety, or too small for reliable previewing. A smaller overview area
will increase the overview resolution for clearer image viewing. You may also
wish to change the size of your overview to improve performance. Generally, a
shorter overview time results from the scanner motor travelling a lesser
distance.

however, will depend on the size as stipulated by the Size and the Left / Top /
