File Size of Images
Image File Size (below 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.)
I.4 Acquire the Image
Once you have selected your scan area and resolution, you ready to acquire an image.
Click on the Acquire button. There may be a short delay while the image laser warms
up; then 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.
Note: If the image you are scanning has more than 10 saturated pixels, you will receive
a warning message.
Saving the Image
After the scan is complete, a message will appear asking you if you want to keep the
scan. If you select Yes, a separate window will pop up containing the new image.
You can then save and analyze the image using the standard menu and toolbar
functions.
