VistaScan Advanced Features
The VistaScan Advanced window gives you the ability to adjust the scan setting individually so you can
customize the settings for the type of document you are going to scan. If you are a novice computer user,
you may want to use the VistaScan Beginner window until you are more familiar with VistaScan and the
scanning process. The Beginner window options are preset to provide a quick and easy way to scan
images.

in the Advanced window to optimize the scan process for the specific item you are going to scan.
The Advanced window contains the following tools and features you can use to scan documents:
• Original Document Source Settings
• Image Mode Settings
• Resolution Settings
• Descreen Settings
• Filter Settings
• Scaling Options
• Auto Adjustment Setting
• Scan Control Unit
• Multiple Scan Mode Settings

Flatbed Reflective: Scans paper originals (non-tranparencies) e.g., photographs, documents, and
