If the adjust-image option was checked in the previous screen, the adjust-image screen is dis- played. The same automatic image-processing functions shown in the previous screen are also displayed here.

Click and drag the brightness, contrast, and saturation sliders to adjust the image; changes are reflected in the display. Any changes made remain in effect until reset or the utility is closed. Returning to the previous screen and unchecking the adjust-image box will not reset these settings.

After making adjustments to the image, click the next button.

Click the tabs on the left of the dialog box depending if the scanned image is to be printed or saved as a file. Click the button which describes the output of the scanned image. Only one choice can be made.

Click the scan button to continue; the save-as screen opens. If an image has multiple uses, repeat the Easy Scan procedure for each use of the image.

On the save-as screen, specify the file name, file format, and destination of the image data. See page 33 for more about formats. When saving JPEG files, the compression ratio can be specified.

If the image was scanned for printing, the print preview dialog box opens to allow the data to be printed. The number of prints can be specified in the copies text box. Uncheck the print- this-image check box to exclude an image from the print run.

To change the printer settings, click the printer- setup button. Any changes made are displayed in the print preview display.

If the print size set with the Easy Scan Utility is not compatible with the printer, the page size is automatically reset and highlighted in red.

When using Mac OS 9.2.2, the printer name is not displayed and the number of copies cannot be selected. Click the printer-setup button and specify the printer and number of copies in the print setup dialog box.

Click the print button to print. Click the cancel button to cancel the print operation; the image data has been saved and can be printed at anytime.

After the scanning is completed, the image is ready to use. Click the appropriate button to continue or close the utility. The quit button closes the Easy Scan Utility and ejects the film holder. The replace-film button ejects the holder so the film can be changed. The continue button allows other images in the film holder to be scanned.

When using a USB storage device on the same bus as the scanner, save the data on the com- puter’s hard disk first before transferring it to the storage device. Saving the scanned data directly to the device may corrupt the image data.

Scanner Notes

The Easy Scan Utility uses a color depth of 8 bit per channel. Data is saving using

an sRGB color space. Color matching is not used with Digital ROC. Autoexposure is not used with black and white positive film.

When printing images B4 or larger using Mac OS 9, 256MB of RAM is required in addition to the memory requirements for the OS and application.

With a Macintosh OS 9 operation system, to cancel an index scan, prescan, or final scan once it has started, click and hold the mouse on the cancel button in the progress dialog box or press and hold the command and period (.) keys until the cancel button appears to depress.
