Microtek 1000xl Reference Manual

Overview, Prescan, Scan

The Overview button previews the image on the scan bed. By default, the entire
scan bed is previewed when you click the Overview button. To change the area
to be previewed, specify the dimensions in the Overview Setup command (in the
Preferences menu).

The Prescan button previews in high resolution the area selected by the scan
frame tool. Multiple prescans can be done if you have several selected scan jobs,
and the prescans are done one after another in the order that they are listed in
the Scan Job window. Options governing the prescan function can be found in
the Prescan Setup command in the Preferences menu.

To obtain multiple prescan images:

1.

Define your scan jobs in the scan job window (see the scan job window
section for more details).

2.

To select multiple scan jobs, press the Shift key and click on the jobs to be
selected in the Scan Job or Preview window.

3.

Click the Prescan button in the Preview window. Multiple prescans are
created in the process, corresponding to the number of scan jobs defined,
and you can then switch among the various prescan images.

The Scan button scans the images on your scanner and delivers the images to
your image-editing software. The images that are scanned are the scan jobs that
have been checked in the Scan Job window.

Note: If the Retain Scan Module After Scan option (in the Preferences menu) is
checked, you will need to exit ScanWizard Pro to see the scanned image in your
image-editing software.
