Overview Setup

This command lets you set the area you want to overview off the scanner bed and provides some

overview options as well.

By default, ScanWizard 5 overviews the maximum scan area as determined by your scanner model's

bed size. You can, however, customize the overview area so that the scanner consistently overviews

only the specific dimensions you have in mind. For example, if your maximum scan area is 8.5" x

14", you can customize the overview area so that it consistently overviews, say, 4" x 8" of the bed

size.

As a rule of thumb, it is best to use the default maximum settings. You should change the overview

area only if your subsequent overview is too large to be shown in entirety, or too small for reliable

previewing. A smaller overview area will increase the overview resolution for clearer image

viewing. You may also wish to change the size of your overview to improve performance. Gener-

ally, a shorter overview time results from the scanner motor travelling at a lesser distance.
