(6) Set the Resolution
The Resolution, which is measured in dots per inch
(dpi), determines the effect of the image as it is
displayed or printed. Images scanned at a high
resolution capture more information. However, high-
resolution images require more memory.
See Scan Tips, Appendix A, (Pg. 27)
(3) Select the Scan Size
From the list of available paper sizes, select the size of
the document you wish to scan. Custom will
automatically be selected when you use the Crop Frame
to change the image area to be scanned.
(4) Use the Crop Frame
Use the Crop Frame in the Preview Window to
outline the image area you wish to scan. Click one

Crop Frame, position the mouse cursor inside it and
drag with the (left) mouse button. Only the area
inside the Crop Frame will be included in the
resulting scanned image when you click on the Scan
button.
(5) Set the Scan Mode
The Scan Mode determines how the scanner will
view the image. Select Color to capture images
in color. Select Gray to capture images in shades
of gray. When you wish to scan line art or text for
OCR (Optical Character Recognition), select
Lineart.
(7) Execute the Scan
The scan button is used once you have
completed the preview, determined the scan
region and have selected the final scan
settings to be used for the scan.
