will change to the manual-focus cursor. To cancel
the function, click the manual-focus button again.
Click on the area of image to be used for focus.
The focus meter window will appear.
Adjust the slider using the mouse until the black

and the point of sharpest focus.
Click OK to set the focus. A new prescan will start
and replace the previous image.
The scanner can be focused manually using the focus meter. For best results, select an area with-
in the image with contrast or detail. The manual focus functions cannot focus on a low-contrast
image such as a cloudless or overcast sky. Some scanner models can be focused with a manual
focus dial, see the hardware manual for compatibility and instruction.
