Performing a Trial Scan
The Scan module allows you to perform test scans to determine the proper threshold or gamma setting for a drawing.
This test scan allows you to preview the scanned image without saving it.
You can perform a trial scan by auto feeding the drawing through the scanner, or by pegging the drawing on the
scanner.
Refer to the Toon Boom Animation website for a complete list of the supported SCSI adapters, scanners and
auto-feeders. http://www.toonboom.com/products/harmony/ and click on Detailed System Requirements.
To perform a trial scan:
1. Launch the Scan module and load your drawing list. Refer to the Launching the Harmony Scan Module and
Loading Drawings topic to learn how.
2. Place the drawing either on the scanner pegs or in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
