Using the UMAX Copy Utility
The UMAX Copy utility is a PC-based application that lets you scan and automatically print copies of an
image.
NOTE: The UMAX Copy Utility is not Macintosh compatible.
To use the copy utility:
1. Click on the Start bar. Click the Programs option. When the Programs pop-up menu appears, click
the VistaScan option. The VistaScan pop-up menu appears. Click the UMAX Copy Utility selection
to open the program.
2. The UMAX Copy Utility window appears.
3. Select your copy settings. Click the Copy button to make the copies, then click Exit when you are
finished.
UMAX Copy Utility Features
Brightness: Lets you select the brightness levels to use when you print the copies of the scanned image. If
the image is too dark, click the up arrow to lighten the copy. If the image is too light, click the down arrow
to darken the copy.
Original Image: Lets you specify the type of image to be copied – Color, Gray, or B/W. The Single
Photo option automatically crops unnecessary white spaces around the image (no matter where the image is
placed), reducing memory storage space and speeding up the scanning.
Printout Quality: Choose Normal for draft quality, or choose Best for high quality images.
• B/W images – Selecting Best or Normal produces the same output.
• Gray images –
Selecting Best uses an enhanced filter to improve image quality but slows down the
print speed.
• Color image – Selecting Normal uses an enhanced filter to improve color quality; selecting Best uses
the MagicMatch function to produce the best image quality.
Printer Setup – Opens the Printer Setup dialog box.
Reset – Returns any settings you have modified to the default settings.
Exit – Returns you to the desktop window.
