Live Preview

This option applies only to color scanners. If Live Preview is enabled, the next option, 

Color

Preview

, will be dimmed.

If Live Preview is on:
•  Changes you make to the preview image are shown instantly (for example, switching

from color to grayscale).

•  If you're scanning in grayscale and live preview is on, the image appears in color unless

you specifically change image type in the Type box (in the 

Untitled Job1 window) to a

grayscale mode. This happens because Live Preview always does previews in color.

If Live Preview is off:
Your preview will be in accordance with your image type (i.e., if you have a grayscale
image, your preview is in grayscale; with a color image, you get a color preview). If you
apply any image-enhancement control, the changes will not be apparent until you do a new
preview (click on the Preview button again). Turn off Live Preview if you're previewing or
scanning in grayscale to speed up the process.

This command allows
you to set the dimen-
sions of your preview
area. When the Preview
Setup dialog box
(below) comes up,
click on the option you
need or specify your
parameters.

Description of function

Option

Color Preview

This option is enabled only if Live Preview is not selected. If this option is turned on, the
image will be scanned in whatever scan mode is specified in the Type box (in the Settings
window). If it is turned off, the image will be scanned in grayscale.

This option allows you to choose your preview mode.
•  On: The preview process is faster, but the quality of preview image is a little coarse.
•  Off: The preview process is slower, but the quality of the preview image is improved.

The Fast Preview option is a hardware-related feature and may or may not be available
depending on your scanner model.
