Introduction

Scanning is changing the way people work with computers. With your

new scanner, you can now take photographs, magazine clippings, books

and other visual material and incorporate them into your everyday

communication. This manual shows you how.

•The Installation shows you how to connect the scanner to your PC and

install the software.

•The next chapters, Start scanning, provide step by step instructions for

scanning photos and documents.

•The Appendices provide a Troubleshooting section and a summary of

the scanner characteristics. If you have a problem, we recommend you

look at the section first before contacting technical support.

4. Once completed, restart Windows.

Start scanning

If you want to scan from any image editing, OCR, or other program that

can accept scans, you can do so via a standard link called TWAIN. Any

program that supports TWAIN can access the scanner and make full use

of its functions. Such programs include CorelDraw, IphotoPlus, Painter,

PhotoDeluxe, PhotoImpact, PhotoShop, PhotoSuite, Presto!

PageManager, TextBridge, etc. This chapter describes the TWAIN

interface in detail and explains all the scanning settings.

Where to find the scanner commands

After installing the scanner and associated software, you should be able to

find the scanner commands, as follows:

1. From within the Twain-compliant application,

choose Select Sourcein the File menu and

the Select Source dialog appears. Select the name of

the scanner (and, if applicable, the correct model

number). The dialog box closes.

2. Choose Acquire in the File menu, and the

TWAIN window opens:

Scanning

Regardless of what you want to scan, once the TWAIN window is open,

the process is the same:

1. Put your photo or document face down

onto the scanner glass and close the cover. 2. Press preview to see what

the scan will look like.

3. Move your cursor to the top left of

the photo or document. Click and

drag down to the bottom right of

the area to scan.

4. Select the settings you want to use.

For more information, see pages 14-

17, Scanningsettings.

5. Click on the Scan button

If you are scanning multiple photos or documents, you can continue to

scan and transfer until you’re finished. When you want to return to the

TWAIN-compliant application, press the Close button.

The image appears in your TWAIN-compliant

application after scanning.

Scanning settings

Preview window

After clicking the preview button, this window shows the document or

photo on the scanner glass. You can then view changes made to settings

and define an area to scan: simply drag your mouse to outline the area.

You can adjust this area’s size by dragging its handles, or its position by

clicking on it and dragging. At the top left of the window there is a ruler

type button, click this to select the ruler units from inches, cm, or pixels.

Message bar

The message bar displays the predicted size of your scan, the current units

and the amount of free space on your hard disk. The predicted size

changes if you change the scan area size, the scan mode and/or the

resolution. If the image size exceeds the amount of free space, you will

not be able to complete the scan. In this case, you can reduce the scan

mode, resolution, scan area, or clear some space on your hard disk.

Scan Mode

The scan mode determines the amount of color information collected from your original. Choose this option based

on what the original is - color or black & white- and what you want to use the scan for: color display, black & white

printing, OCR, etc. Your choice also influences the file size: true-color being the largest, grayscale the next and black

& white the smallest. When you change this option, look at the projected file size in the message bar: true-color

images are three times larger than grayscale and twenty-four times larger than black & white!

True-color

This scan mode collects the maximum amount of color

information from the original, up to around 16.7

million colors! Choose this option for a color original

that you want to display, print or edit in color.

Grayscale

Use this mode for black & white photos or scanning

color material to print on a black & white printer.

Line-art

Use this mode to scan text or line drawings - a picture

containing no colors or shades of gray, but black lines

only.

Resolution

Resolution determines the amount of detail collected from an original. The higher the resolution, the more detail.

Select a value based on what you want to use the scan for. In general, we recommend you keep the resolutionaslow

aspossiblebecause the higher the resolution, the slower your scan and the larger the resulting file size. A lower

resolution (100-200dpi) can capture more color and detailed information than mostprinters and displays can

show. When you adjust the resolution, keep an eye on the projected file size in the message bar. Try the following:

100dpi

For images to display on screen at about the same size

as the original in a presentation or on your web page.

Also use this for larger images that you will reduce in

size to include in a report or presentation and print out

on a normal color or black & white printer (with a print

resolution of 300~360dpi).

200dpi

For small images to display at a larger size on screen, or

for any size to print out at original size on a color or

black & white printer (up to 720dpi print resolution).

Also use 200dpi (with black & white scan mode) to OCR

clear text (over 10pt); for small text, use 300dpi.
