desired destination (a file, printer, email application, etc.) for the
scanned image. For example, if you want to save the image in a

particular file, press the small icon 

 on the middle of panel, and

then press the "Preferences" button

image to be scanned in true color. Scanning will commence upon
selection of a button.
