How to Scan and Display an Image on a 640 x 480 Monitor
1 Place the image to be scanned on your scanner.
2 Go to the Preview window and click the Scan Material icon. From the submenu that appears,
choose the correct scan material type.
3 Click the Overview button to start an overview, and you will see the image appear in your
Preview window.
4 Go to the Settings window, and choose pixels as your unit of measurement. Then, enter the
resolution value in the Resolution edit box — 72 dpi in this case for monitor display. If you
change the resolution after specifying the output dimensions, the dimensions will change, and
you will then need to re-enter the correct output dimensions again.
5 Change to an initial scaling value of 200% in the scaling menu.
6 In the Output edit boxes, enter “640” for width and “480” for height. You will notice that the
scan frame in your preview image changes.
7 Check the Fixed Output Size box. Adjust or move the scan frame to enclose the area you wish.
A flashing frame (marquee) will be around the selected area.
8 If you like what you see in the Preview window, click the Scan button in the Preview window
to start scanning.
