Operation
Scan Configuration
— Use this sec-
tion of the dialog box to manually
select scan options for the image.
Mode
— From left to right, the three
modes are color, grayscale, and
black and white. The same symbols
next to the preset options indicate
their mode setting. Click a mode to
select it for the scan.
Res
— This is the resolution setting
for the scan in dots-per-inch (DPI).
The higher the DPI, the sharper the
image. But higher DPI settings also
produce larger files sizes. Usually
the higher resolution settings are
used for precision work, such as
photographs or fine artwork. Click
the drop-down arrow and choose
one of the resolution settings from
the list.
Size
— The page size for the image.
If you want to use one of those pre-
set sizes, click the drop-down arrow
and choose the size from the list. If
you want to create a custom size,
click on the picture window and drag
the mouse. A dotted box on the win-
dow indicates the page size, and the
two number boxes (with the vertical
and horizontal symbols next to
them) show the actual page size in
inches. You can also enter the verti-
cal and horizontal sizes in those two
number boxes.
AutoCrop
— Select this option to let
the scanner automatically determine
the size of the object being
scanned. For example, if you put a
photo in the middle of the glass, the
scanner will automatically determine
the size of the photo. When
AutoCrop is selected, the scanner
makes two passes. The first pass
senses the object's size and the
second pass scans the image.
Note: This option overrides any
selections you make using
Size
.
Adv. Setting
— Click this button to
see advanced settings for scanning.
See the Help information for details
about the advanced settings.
Note: For more details about the
Scan Manager's features, choose

from the Help
menu.
5. Click
Preview
. The scanner scans
the object and displays a preview
using the options you selected.
6. Review the image to make sure it is
what you want. Then select the por-
tion of the image you want to scan
or adjust the settings if necessary.
7. To see a preview again before scan-
ning the final image, click
Preview
.
8. When you are satisfied with the
image settings, click
Scan
.
The scanner now re-scans the object
and displays the final image as a thumb-
nail on the PaperPort Desktop.
