Scanning Instructions
1. Carefully clean the scanner glass with
a piece of cloth or glass cleaner and allow it to dry.
2. Make sure the scanner is on.
3. Place the item on the scanner glass with the image facing down. Ensure
that the actual print area is parallel to the edges of the scanner.
5. After you start the scanner software, run a preview. If your scanner
software does not run the preview automatically, do so yourself.
6. If your picture or graphic appears skewed or crooked in the preview, line
it up better and repeat the preview.
7. On the preview, use your mouse to outline the desired scan area.
8. If you are going to use Photoshop (or any other image editing program),
scan all color images as 'millions of colors'. Otherwise, use grey scale for
black and white.
9. Adjust the scanner resolution. Set it to 300 dpi to scan for printing and
72 dpi for scanning for use on the web.
10. Try the auto-exposure button if applicable in your scanner
software to adjust brightness and contrast, if needed.
11. Click Scan or Final to scan the image.
12. Save image in tif, psd or bmp if you are scanning to print. Save it in
jpg or gif if you are scanning for the web.
