How to Avoid Problems

Here is some general advice on avoiding problems in your
scanning jobs:
• Start with the best possible original image to scan.
• Select only the part of the image you want to scan. Preview
the image and select it with the Crop and Auto Crop buttons.
( 38, 39) Not only does a more precise selection save file
space, but your image quality will be much higher.
• Check the output file size before beginning the scan. Make
sure you have enough room if you are scanning files that
require a large amount of disk space.
• Match your Scan Mode to the output purpose. If you are
scanning text, use the Text Enhanced mode. If you are
scanning line art, use the Black and White setting, and so on.
• Match your scan resolution to the type of file you need. If
you are scanning images for use as .GIF or .JPG files on the
Web, you do not have to scan at 600 dpi. Although it is
recommended that you scan at a higher resolution than you
need for high-quality color images, you should balance that
factor against your planned use for the image.
• Take advantage of the Tone sheet features to enhance your
images. ( 47)
• Try to use TrueColor mode on your monitor so you can view
your preview image as accurately as possible.
