CONFIGURING THE SCANNER 29

5. Click the Page Settings tab to adjust the scan page settings.

Page Size—Choose a page size from the drop-down list. The outlines on the picture represent the various page sizes. Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size for the scan. If you select the Custom option from the drop-down list, boxes appear in place of the picture. Enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes.

AutoCrop—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is selected, the scanner makes two passes—the first pass senses the item’s size, and the second pass scans the image. This option overrides the Page Size menu selection.

DeScreen—Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or other items that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image.
