Prescanning Images

A Prescan is a quick low-resolution scan of theentire original image. From this low-resolution scan you can get a cleareridea of the image area you want to include in the Crop Frame when you clickScan. Usually, you should Prescan before scanning an image for the firsttime; however, you will soon learn that it is not always necessary. (i.e.prescanning is seldom necessary when doing OCR since you will likely setthe Crop Frame to the entire page).

To Prescan,the steps are:

1. Place the document face down in the upper rightcorner of the scan window glass.

2. Click the Prescanbutton in the F/B Scanner dialog box.

After the scanner has scanned the document, thescanned image will appear in the Preview Window. From the Prescan image,you can now set the Crop Frame to include the exact image area you wishto include in your final scan.
