Image File Size
Image File Size (under Select Resolution) shows the size of the scan file you are
about to create. If you do not have enough computer memory for the specified file
size, an error message will appear when you attempt to scan. If this happens, select a
lower resolution or decrease the size of the area to be scanned. (Macintosh users can
also increase the application memory partition. See your Macintosh computer
documentation for guidance.)
D.5 Acquire the Image
If you want to calibrate your scans, read the following section on calibration before
scanning.
To begin to scan, click on the Acquire button. The scanned image will begin to appear
in the scanning window, line by line.
To interrupt a scan, click on the Stop button. A message will ask you to confirm the
interrupt, and then you will be asked if you want to keep the partial scan. This feature
is useful if you overestimated the size of the area you selected.
After the scan is complete, a window will open displaying the scan image, at which
point you can analyze and save it.
Note: The image will open with a default file name that includes the date, time, and (if
applicable) user name. However, unless you have selected Auto Save After Scan,
the file will not be saved until you select Save or Save As from the File menu.
