Preview Area
The area located to the left of the ScanGear CS-U main window where the
image is displayed before the scan occurs. When you click the Preview
button, the image on the scanner is scanned into the Preview Area, but not

ScanGear CS-U for Macintosh is not a stand-alone program that can be
started by itself. It is used as a plug-in program. In this case, start an
application program first, then select [ScanGear CS-U 6.2.0...] from within
the program. The scanned images will load directly into that application
program.
