PreScanning 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.

How to use PreScan to adjust an Image:

1Insert the document face down in the document feeder of your MFC.

2Select the PreScan button.

The entire document will be scanned into the PC and will appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner window.

3To crop a portion of the document 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 document you wish to scan.

4Place the document in the document feeder of the MFC again.

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

6Select the Start button.

This time only the selected area of the document 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.)
