WHAT A JOB?

Before scanning, it is necessary to make various settings in the Scan Settings window (see page 92) such as the amount of detail required to read the original film (input resolution), the amount of detail required for output (output resolution), the size required for output (output size/magnifications), etc.

It is important that these settings are made properly in order to achieve optimal results for the size and/or purpose of the final image. A beginner may find these settings to be complicated and difficult to understand.

“Job” is a function that allows you to save all the item settings made to the Scan Settings window to a particular file so that this file can be recalled when necessary for any future jobs that require the same settings. Properly used, this function can simplify the complicated process of setting the resolution, image size, magnifications, etc. scanner settings, so that even a beginner can easily execute the ideal settings required for the job.

Up to 8 items can be set to numerical values in the Scan Settings window. One pattern reflecting settings for each of the 8 items can be saved to a Job file. Should these settings be changed, the new settings can be saved to another job file. All Job files are collected within the “Job File List” that designates 10 individual categories for each image output destination (device to which the job is to be output). In total, approximately 570 different types are available.

Because other optional settings can be registered to the Job File List, intermediate and advanced users can increase their work efficiency by saving commonly used scanner settings to the Job File List. Also, it is possible to reduce work time by saving settings to the Job File List when specific settings are required, regardless of the image to be scanned.

•When installing the setup program (installer) by following the instructions, the job files are installed in the following folders for each category.

When using Windows® (The startup hard disk assumes drive C.) [C:]/[Program Files] folder/[DS_MultiPRO] folder / [Job] folder

When using Macintosh

[System] folder /[Start Up Disk]/[Preferences] folder / [DS Multi PRO Jobs] folder

•For adding or deleting a job file, see “Registering a Job” or “Deleting a Job” described on the previous page. The files in the folders described above cannot be operated with Explorer (or Finder on Macintosh).

•The “Scan Job File List” in which all the scan job settings are listed, appears on pages 110 to 123.
