The Scan Frame, Scaling, and Output settings allow you to control with precision the dimensions for
your scanned image.

Take note of the following important points:
• For the Scan Frame settings (width and height edit boxes), enter the values manually; or use the
Scan Frame tool to draw a scan frame in your preview window, and the scan frame dimensions
will then be displayed in the edit boxes.
• Keep Scaling at 100% if you are outputting at the same size (ex. a 4” x 5” output at the same
size). Increase or reduce the scaling if outputting at a larger or smaller size, respectively.
• Checking or unchecking the Scan Frame options will affect the relationship between the various
settings. If the Fixed Scan Frame option is checked, for instance, changing the Scaling will
change the Output settings accordingly, or vice versa.
• To use any of the Scan Frame options correctly, enter the desired values in the edit boxes first
before checking the corresponding option. For instance, if you know your exact input values and
wish to “lock” the settings of your scan frame, enter the values in the Scan Frame width and
height edit boxes first, then check the Fixed Scan Frame option; the procedure cannot be done in
reverse order. This principle applies to the Fixed Output Size option as well.
• Make sure you choose the unit of measurement (inch, pixel, etc.) to fit your need. Otherwise,
you may obtain out-of-range values. If you enter a value that is illegal or out of range, the value
will appear in red as a flag or warning.
For more details on scaling, refer to the scenario sketched out in “How to Scan and Display an
Image” in the Sample Scenarios section of the manual. For a fuller discussion, see “Scan Frame,
Scaling, and Output” in the Supplementary Information section.
