How to Use PreScan to Adjust an Image

How to Use PreScan to Adjust an Image

PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version of the image 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, select the Start button from the scanner window to scan the image.

1Insert the original face down in the ADF or on the scanner glass.

2Select the PreScan button.

The entire original will be scanned into your Windows® -based PC and will appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner window.

3To 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.

4Place the original in the ADF, or on the scanner glass again.

5Adjust the settings for Resolution, Color Type (Color or Gray Scale) and Size in the Scanner window, as needed.

6Select the Start button.

This time only the selected area of the original will appear in the PaperPort® window.

7In the PaperPort® window, use the options available to refine the image. (See PaperPort® for Brother Online Documentation for details.)
