Output Settings
The Output settings (width and height) represent
the dimensions of image when it is output (to
either monitor or printer). If the size of the image
to be output is different from the size of the
original source image, adjust the scaling percent-
age, or manually increase / decrease the output
values accordingly.
Additional Notes
• When none of the Scan Frame options are
checked, all five edit boxes are enabled,
allowing you to edit or enter values into any
of the boxes.
• The Fixed Scan Frame and Fixed Output
Size options are mutually exclusive. This
means that only one of the options can be
checked at any time; checking another
option will automatically uncheck the other
one.
• When an illegal value is entered (e.g., the
input width exceeds the scan frame size), the
value will appear in red as a flag or warning
indicating an out-of-range value.
2. Fixed Output Size
When the Fixed Output Size option is
checked, the values specified for output
width and height remain unchanged. If any
of the input values are changed, the scaling
will be adjusted automatically to preserve
the output dimensions correctly.
If you know the exact output size for your
image, enter the output width and height
values first, then check Fixed Output Size.
The image will then be scanned and output
at the values you specify.
1. Fixed Scan Frame
This option lets you lock in the settings of
your scan frame, so that the width and
height dimensions of the frame are always
preserved no matter where you move the
frame in your preview image.
If you know the exact input size for your
image, or if you wish to “lock” the settings
of your scan frame to a particular size, enter
the Scan Frame width and height values
first, then check Fixed Scan Frame. Your
scan frame will be “fixed” at those values,
so even if you move the scan frame around
the preview image, the dimensions of the
frame itself will remain unchanged.
3. Keep Proportion
When the Keep Proportion option is
checked, the width and height values of the
image are kept in proportion despite changes
made to either setting. This preserves the
aspect ratio of the image.
This option is automatically checked when
either “Fixed Scan Frame” or “Fixed Output
Size” is selected.
Scan Frame options
The Scan Frame options include Fixed Scan
Frame, Fixed Output Size, and Keep Proportion.
Unit of Measurement
The unit of measurement lets you select your
desired unit (inch, cm, mm, point, pixel). Make
sure you select the correct unit of measurement
before entering values for the width or height
settings in the edit boxes.
