3Preview Area

This area shows a preview of how the image will look when the original is scanned.

Use it to check the image appearance, and to adjust the scanning area selection or scan settings.

Right-clicking on the Preview Area displays a menu that provides the following functions.

■Selecting Cropping Area

Displays the Cropping Area dialog box, where you can specify the dimensions of the scanning area. This function cannot be selected with 2-sided scanning, when Auto-adjust Orientation is selected, or when Original Size is set to Auto or Different Sizes. For how to specify the scanning area, see ‘Specifing the Scanning Area,’ on p.4-8.

■Unit

Selects the unit used to specify the scanning area (centimeters, inches, or pixels).

■Original Frame Erase

Allows you to specify whether or not to delete a shadow or frame around the original when scanning. Selecting On applies a 2.5 mm white frame around the scanned image. The Original Frame Erase command is not available when Original Size is set to Auto or

Different Sizes, or when the scanning area is specified.

The preview image does not appear when scanning using the feeder or when Original Size is set to Auto.
