7.3 Step II. Select Scan Area
Preview Scan
Before selecting the particular area to scan, you can preview the entire
scanning area to determine the exact position of your sample.
Click on Preview Scan. A quick, low-resolution scan of the entire scanning
area will appear in the scanning window. Your sample should be visible
within a portion of this scan.
Selecting an Area
Using the preview scan as a guide, select your scan area by dragging your
mouse within the scanning window. The border of the scan area you are
selecting will be marked by a frame.
Note: The scan area you select must be at least 1 cm wide.
When you release the mouse button, the border changes to a dashed blue line,
indicating a selected area.
• To reposition the scanning area box you have created, position your cursor
inside the box and drag. The entire box will move.
• To resize the box, position your cursor on a box side and drag. The side
you have selected will move.
• To redo the box entirely, position your cursor outside the box and drag.
The old box will disappear and a new box will be created.
You can also select the scanning area by entering coordinates in the
appropriate fields (Top, Bottom, Left, Right). As you enter a coordinate, the
position of the scanning area box will change accordingly.
When selecting, be sure to include the entire area of interest, and be generous
with borders. You can always crop the image later.
