Move tool – Lets you move an image in the Preview window so you can see portions that are not visible
because the image is zoomed too large to display completely. Click the Move tool. Put the cursor inside
the Preview window (which changes the cursor shape to a hand). Scroll the image view by clicking and
dragging the cursor.
Selecting the Scan to Device or Application
To specify the device or application to which you want to send the scanned item, click on the icon that
represents this device or application.
The icons include:
File – stores the scanned image in a file using the file name specified in the VistaScan Preferences.
Print – prints the scanned item on the default printer.
Fax – faxes the scanned item using your fax driver.
E-mail – sends the scanned item as a graphic file to your Microsoft Exchange or Lotus cc:Mail e-
mail application. (NOTE: Other e-mail applications are not supported).
Defining the Type of Image to Scan
The Beginner window provides pre-defined scanning options so you can quickly and easily scan any of the
following items:
• Color Photos – use this setting when you want to scan color or black and white photos.
• Printed Matter – use this setting when you want to scan something that has been printed like a
brochure, magazine, etc.
• Text/Lineart documents – use this setting when you want to scan the text contained in a document, or
when you want to scan simple lineart graphics.
• Web Images – use this setting when you want to scan graphics and then use them on the web.
To specify the type of image you are going to scan, click on the icon that represents the type of item you
want to scan.
Clicking on any of these icons automatically starts the final scan process using the pre-defined scan
settings. The scanned image is saved or sent to the device or application you specified by clicking on the
Scan To icon.
