How to Use PreScan to Adjust an Image
PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A
thumbnail version of the image will appear in the Scanning Area. This is
only a preview of the image so you can see how it will look. The PreScan
button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions
from the image. When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Start
button from the scanner window to scan the image.
1
Insert the original face down in the ADF or on the scanner glass.
2
Select the PreScan button.
The entire original will be scanned into your Windows
®
-based PC and will
appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner window.
3
To crop a portion of the image to be scanned, drag any side or corner of
the dotted outline in the Scanning Area with the left mouse button. Adjust
the dotted outline until it surrounds only the portion of the image you wish
to scan.
4
Place the original in the ADF, or on the scanner glass again.
5
Adjust the settings for Resolution, Color Type (Color or Gray Scale) and
Size in the Scanner window, as needed.
6
Select the Start button.
This time only the selected area of the original will appear in the
PaperPort
®
window.
7
In the PaperPort
®
window, use the options available to refine the image.

®
for Brother Online Documentation for details.)
