How to Use PreScan to Adjust an Image
PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A
thumbnail version will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview
of the image, so you can see how it will look. The PreScan button is used to
preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from the image.
When you are satisfied with the preview, click Start to scan the image.
1
Insert document face up in the ADF or face down on the scanner glass.
2
Click PreScan.
The entire original will be scanned into your Macintosh G3 or iMac and
will appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner dialog box:

To crop a portion of the image to
be scanned, drag any side or corner
of the dotted outline in the Scanning
Area with the left mouse button.
Adjust the dotted outline until it
surrounds only the portion of the
image you wish to scan.

Place original in the ADF or on the
scanner glass again.

Color Type, Brightness, Contrast,
and Size in the Scanner Setup dialog
box, as needed.
