Preparing for the Scanning Job
These are some points you should check before you start scanning:
• If you have not yet installed the parent software application you
intend to use with the scanner and ScanGear CS-U, install the
application.
• Before you start scanning, make sure the scanner is connected
correctly.
• Always position the original squarely on the scanner platen with the
image side down.
• ScanGear CS-U lets you correct many undesirable features in scanned
images, but you will save time and effort by starting with the best
possible original. If you are scanning a photograph, for example,
make sure the original is in the sharpest possible focus.
• If you are scanning text, make sure the printed text is sharp and clean.
