				“Top Ten” List
				“Top Ten” List
				Here is a list of the “Top Ten” pieces of advice for scanning.
1.					Start with the best possible original image to scan.
2.					Select only the part of the image you want to scan. Preview the image and
					select it. Not only does a more precise selection save file space, but your
					image quality will be much higher.
3.					Check the output file size before beginning the scan. Make sure you have
					enough room if you are scanning files that take up a lot of disk space.
4.					Match your Scan Mode to the output purpose. If you are scanning text,
					use the Text Enhanced mode. If you are scanning line art, use the Black
					and White setting, and so on.
5.					Match your scan resolution to the type of file you need. If you are
					scanning images for use as .GIF or .JPG files on the Web, you do not have
					to scan at 600 dpi. Although it is recommended that you scan at a higher
					resolution than you need for high-quality color images, you should balance
					that factor against your planned use for the image.
6.					Take advantage of the Gamma tone curve and other tone tools to correct
					your images.
7.					Try to use Full Color mode on your monitor so you can view your preview
					image as accurately as possible.
8.					If you are using OCR software, scan in Text Enhanced at 300 dpi or higher.
9.					If creating halftones, scan at twice the halftone resolution.

10.Take advantage of the preview feature and preview as much as you want before scanning.
