How to Scan a Newspaper or Magazine Image
1. Place the printer matter material to be scanned on
your scanner.
2. Go to the Preview window and click the Scan
Material icon. From the submenu that appears,
choose Reflective.
3. Click the Overview button to start an overview, and
you will see the image appear in your Preview
window.
4. Select the Scan Frame tool from the Toolbar in the
Preview window, and choose the area to be scanned
by dragging a rectangle (scan frame) around it. You
will see a flashing frame (marquee) around the
selected area.
5. Move the pointer to the menu next to the Descreen
tool in the Settings window. From the drop-down
menu that appears, select your source material --
whether the image being scanned is from a
newspaper, magazine, or art magazine (higher-quality
printing).
NOTE
: If you know the printed lpi (lines per inch)
for the image, you may enter the exact number. You
can measure the line screen by using a screen
finder, which can be purchased from your local
print shop.
6. Click the Scan button. When the image is scanned,
no moiré patterns will be evident.
NOTE
: Descreen result will not show in the preview
screen. You need to display or print the output
