Fig. 3.2 TWAIN Interface (Using Image Pals 2 GO! software)

Preview Window

The interface window’s right side displays Pre-scanned images. The

Crop Box (dashed line) surrounding the perimeter is used to select the

area of the pre-scanned image that you want to scan. Adjusting this

area significantly effects the amount of memory used and thus time

required to perform the scan. It is always recommended that you

adjust the crop box to scan only the portion of the image that you

need to scan. Position the pointer over a corner of the crop box, click,

hold, and drag the border to adjust the scanning area.

Settings

The settings box is located in the top portion of your TWAIN window.

By clicking on the down arrow you may select from a list of pre-

defined scan settings. These settings represent files containing

information about how the scanner should scan the image. Choose

the most appropriate setting for your task. For example: If you are

scanning a black and white photograph on 8.5” x 11” paper you

would select

B/W Photo Page (letter)

in the

Settings

menu. These

settings can be further modified in the Control Panel and Enhance

menu. If your image/document does not meet any of these

specifications simply select the default setting from the settings list.

Pre-scan and then adjust the crop box and scan options (located in

Panel

and under the

Filters

and

Advanced

menus) accordingly. Click
