parallel bars 

in the bottom left corner of the Queue Manager.

The scanner performs the Preview and displays all of the images that are mounted on the
scanner inside of the crop box area. The Progress Bar in the top of the Queue Manager
Window indicates the current status of the scan.

5. The Crop Tool 

should be active. The Crop Tool is used to select the area of the flatbed   to

be scanned. Resize the Crop Area so that only the desired image, or portion thereof, is
selected. When adjusting the Crop Area on the Overview, the Crop does not have to be
precise. The crop can be adjusted at any time in its respective Region Window to allow image
correction and to set final image size.

the Crop Area. Dragging on any corner(s) of the marquee resizes the Crop Area. A new Crop
Area can be created by drawing a new marquee starting on the outside of the current Crop
Area, but only one Crop Area can exist at any one time.

6. Double-click inside of the Crop Area, then name and save the region to add it to the Queue

Manager Window as a new Region. Add as many new Regions to the Queue Manager
Window as desired. At this point the Queue will contain the Overview as well as any cropped
regions.

7. Make the Queue manager Window active by clicking anywhere in the window, and then

double-click on the desired image. This opens the Region Window for the selected image, and
the Overview Window disappears. Only one Window (Region or Overview) can appear at a
time.

8. The image is now ready for a Preview Scan. Click on the three horizontal parallel bars 

in
