Start Your Scan by Using VistaScan
Note:
It is important to realize that different applications may use different methods of acquiring an
image and only the most general case is given here. Please refer to your application’s user
documentation for details on its usage.
For Windows Users
There are two ways to initiate VistaScan.
A. Using Application programs to invoke VistaScan
1. From Microsoft Windows, launch the application that will be used to call VistaScan. (e.g. Presto!
PageManager or Adobe PhotoShop LE).
2. Pull down the “File” menu.
3. Choose “Select Source”. Remember the specific wording of parameters may vary among different
applications.
4. Select “VistaScan” as the data source. (You only need to do this once).
5. Pull down the “File” Menu again.
6. Select “Acquire” to activate the scanning dialog box as shown on page 10.
7. Place the image you will scan on top of the scanner’s object glass.
8. From the four modes on the “Click to Scan” panel, click a scan mode button that suits the required
scan. For example, if you wish to scan a color photograph, click the Color Photo button in order for
the image to be scanned in true color. Scanning will commence upon selection of a button.
9. Click “Exit” to close VistaScan when scanning is complete. The scanned image will be placed on the
application’s desktop ready to be edited.
10. Edit the scanned image using the application. (e.g. Presto! PageManager or Adobe PhotoShop).
