Epson 1640SU manual Finishing up

Using the Slide Scanner

2.The picture may now be scanned, click Scan button. NOTE: scanning may take a minute. If the scanner cut off part of the image, please ask a TLC employee for assistance.

3.When it is finished scanning, close the scan window by clicking on the Close button. You should see the original screen with your new picture on it.

4.From the menu bar, click File \ Save As.

Name your file in the File name box.

You have the option of saving the file as a few different types; they are as follows:

•JPEG or JPG: This format compresses the image, with some data loss depending on the degree of the compression. This is the best format for scanned photographs used on web sites or for sending photographic images in email.

•GIF: This format is used mainly for computer-generated graphics such as buttons and bars and clip art style images. It works well for text and graphics with straight lines, but is limited to 256 colors and poorly suited for photographic purposes.

You can save the picture to disk, or to your NT account. (Please consult a TTC advisor if you have any questions regarding your file size and applications.) Since there are several ways in which to save your file, one of the advisors can suggest the proper format for your specific application. Select where you would like to save your file under 'Save in:,' name your file under 'File name;' and click Save.

After you have saved your file be sure remove your slide from the scanner. If you would like to scan another slide, repeat steps 4 – 11.
