8. Lift the document cover and place the item face-down so the top center of the image aligns with the
arrow at the back edge of the object glass.
9. Click
the
Preview
button on the right side of the VistaScan Beginner window and the scanner begins a
low-resolution scan.
10. When the preview scan is complete the preview image is displayed in the Preview window (on the left
side of the VistaScan window).
You can change the view size of the Preview image before scanning the final image using the “Zoom
Tool”, or select a region to scan using the “Frame Selection Tool”. To find out more about how to use
these tools, click on the user tips text that appears when your cursor pauses over the tool.
NOTE:
You must have a browser installed in order to view the VistaScan online help.
11. In the
Click to Scan
section of the VistaScan Beginner window, click the icon that corresponds to the
type of image you are scanning.
For example, if you are scanning a color photograph, choose “Color Photo”. To scan text or a black
and white drawing, choose “Text/Lineart”. The image is scanned and you return to the PhotoDeluxe
window.
12. When the scan is complete, a window appears requesting that you save the document. Type a name in
the field that appears to the right of “Save this document as:”
NOTE:
By default the image is saved as “untitled - #” in the
Acquire
section of the floating gallery
window. You can also choose to save the image in the hard drive or on the desktop by clicking on the
arrow to the right of the My Photos box at the top of this window.
13. After a moment the image appears in the My Photos gallery window. Double-click the thumbnail to
view a full-size, high-resolution scan of the image in the work area.
14. Exit PhotoDeluxe by selecting
Quit
from the File menu.
Turning the Scanner Lamp On and Off
You can turn the scanner lamp on and off using the Astra 3400 / 3450’s built-in Power Saving utility from
VistaAccess. The lamp remains on whenever the scanner has power, unless you turn it off using the
UMAX Power Saving utility. Turning off the scanner lamp when you are not scanning prolongs the life of
the lamp.
To turn the scanner lamp off:
Click the icon of VistaAccess and select the Lamp On/Off control function. You can click the Lamp Off
item to turn off your scanner lamp.
To turn the scanner lamp on:
Open the VistaScan software, or simply click the Lamp On item from the Lamp On/Off control function in
the VistaAccess.
NOTE:
The scanner lamp is different from the Power Indicator light. The Power Indicator light is the
very small, green light located on the front panel of the scanner. This indicator remains ON whenever the
scanner is plugged into an electrical outlet (regardless of whether the Power Saving utility is engaged).
