PreScanning 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 will allow you to crop unwanted areas from the images. When

you are satisfied with the preview, click Start to scan the image.

Insert the document face up in the ADF, or face down on the

scanner glass.

Click PreScan.

The whole image will be scanned into your Macintosh

and will

appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner dialog box:

To scan a portion of the prescanned image, click and drag the

mouse to crop it.
