20 ScanMaker i450 Supplement
For MAC Users Using ScanPotter
A. Scanning Photos
1. Raise the scanner lid, place the photo to be
scanned on the scan bed. The top end of the
original should be positioned towards the
back
of
the scanner, with the surface to be scanned facing
down. Then, place the
Black Mat
on top of the
photo.
Note
: Use of the Black Mat on top of your photo
filters out unwanted light during scanning, and
ensures the correct functioning of the automatic
cropping feature when you do a preview scan.
2. Launch ScanPotter either as a stand-alone by clicking on the program icon, or by
selecting it from the application folder in your Mac OS X system.
3. Choose
Reflective
from the Scan Source
options menu for scanning photos.
4. Specify your scanning requirements in the Scanner Settings column.
a) Select the appropriate image type (e.g., RGB Color) in the Color Type as your

button to perform a preliminary scan of the image in the

6. If necessary, resize the scan frame (floating dotted rectangle) around the image
by dragging on the square spots on the edge or on the corner of the scan frame to
determine the final size of the actual scan.
