Previews in the ScanFlow System
The ability to make preview scans automatically, to make and store multiple preview scans, and
to access any preview scan from any ColorQuartet user interface are central features of the
ScanFlow System.
Important things to know about previews
• Previews that you make on the scanner will – if you set up the system according to our recom-
mendations – be stored on the file server computer (not the scanner computer).
• The preview location for automatically generated previews (i.e., previews made by the Scan-
Flow System) must be a folder (not, for example, the desktop). The folder must be one that can
be seen both by CQscan and by all the computers on which you are running the ColorQuartet
user interface.
• If there are PCs in your system, you may need to map the drive names to each other in a spe-
cial text file. This is necessary if the different PCs use different names for the same drive or if
you have a mixed installation with PCs and Macintoshes in the same network. See S
etting up
the names of shared drives.
• The recommended strategy is to send all previews to the same folder. The ScanFlow System
maintains a separate preview address for each template or drum you use. Each time you make
a new preview, the system automatically overwrites any previous preview for that template or
drum.
• Individual users can, if desired, set up other preview locations for manually created previews
by using the Preview Folder... command in ColorQuartet’s File menu. This may be useful if
there are scans that the user does not want to make accessible to everyone. ColorQuartet will
continue to store the previews in the chosen folder until the choice is changed. (Macintosh: If
the Preview Folder... command is not visible, choose Preferences... from ColorQuartet’s Edit
menu and check that Full Menus is activated in the Features tab.)
• Multi-user systems: As long as at least one user interface computer has activated the ScanFlow
System, the scanner will continue to do preview scans automatically when the lid is closed. To
find out who is logged onto the ScanFlow System, choose Clients... from the File
menu in CQs-
can.
