Getting a closer look (zooming)
Zoom in on the selection area to look at it more closely or make changes to it. Zoom out to view the entire preview image, or so you can select a different area of the image to view. Zooming in on the selection area before making changes or performing a final scan provides the best final results. The zoom commands are not available if you have not created a selection area.
Zooming in and out does not change which part of the image becomes the final scan, nor does it change the final output size (physical output dimensions). To change which part of the image becomes the final scanned image, see "Cropping or selecting an area for final scan" on page 42. To resize the image, see "Resizing (output dimensions)" on page 45.
