Scanning

This chapter will give you a brief description on how to set the scanning
parameters in order to capture your first scans. Normally, you would provide and
enter project information before starting with your scan project. This will be
described later. For more information, see "Managing Scan Projects" on
page 68.

Setting the Scanning Parameters

(Home > Parameters)
Scanning parameters like resolution, quality or the scanning angles are the
parameters used by the scanner for recording the scan data. There are two ways
to set the scanning parameters: by changing them manually or by selecting a scan
profile which is a predefined set of scanning parameters. When selecting a scan
profile, its settings will overwrite the scanning parameters.
