CHAPTER 3. Scanning Basics VistaScan is the primary program or driver you use to scan with your Astra 6400/6450 scanner. It is a TWAIN-compliant program, which means that it can be run from other programs that support scanning, like Caere OmniPage and others. It is also a stand-alone program, which allows you to scan images for a variety of uses, even without launching another program first. Setting VistaScan Preferences VistaScan “Preferences” controls the Astra 6400/6450’s default scan settings.
Color Matching/Correction Color Matching allows you to fine-tune the colors of scanned images so that they emulate the colors of your original source documents as closely as possible. This is accomplished using MagicMatch. When you click on the MagicMatch checkbox (so a checkmark appears) the Profile List displays. A profile is a list of applicable calibration profiles, which MagicMatch uses to render a final output image.
UMAX Astra 6400/6450 Owner’s Guide Show Ruler The Show Ruler command displays or hides the rulers that border the top and left sides of the Preview window.

The information includes: • • • • • • Scanner Manufacturer Scanner Model Firmware Version VistaScan Version Maximum Scan Width and Length Maximum Resolution VistaScan Beginner Window Features The VistaScan Beginner window appears when you launch VistaScan. The features of the VistaScan Beginner window let you scan a wide variety of documents, photos, and graphics. Just click a button.
Scanning an item via the Beginner window consists of just a few steps: 1. Perform a preview scan of the item to be scanned by clicking the Preview button. The item is quickly scanned at lowresolution, and is displayed in the Preview window (on the left side of the VistaScan Beginner window). 2. Select what you want to do with the image after it is scanned using the Scan To icons. 3. Specify what kind of image you are going to scan, and start the final scan process using the Click To Scan icons.
UMAX Astra 6400/6450 Owner’s Guide There are three Preview tools in the VistaScan Beginner window. Zoom Tool Frame Tool Move Tool Zoom tool – Lets you enlarge or reduce the view of the image in the Preview window. To use the Zoom tool: Once the preview image appears in the Preview window, click on the Magnifying Glass icon. Move your cursor into the Preview window and click. The image enlarges.
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 on 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.
UMAX Astra 6400/6450 Owner’s Guide Defining the Type of Image to Scan The Beginner window provides you with 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.
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.
You can choose from the following settings: Flatbed Reflective: Scans paper originals (non-transparencies) e.g., photographs, documents, and brochures. UTA (Transmissive): Scans 4” x 5” or smaller photo transparencies. UTA (Negative): Scans 4” x 5” photographic negatives. Auto Doc Feeder: The Automatic Document Feeder option is not available for this scanner. NOTE: For more information about scanning photo transparencies or negatives, refer to the Universal Transparency Cover (UTC) section of this manual.
True Color, CMYK: Converts RGB (video) color data into CMYK (printed) color data using a special color transformation process. When scanning is completed the CMYK image is ready for printing on a CMYK color printer. NOTE: Most ink jet printers use RGB rather than CMYK printing. 256 Colors: Scans color images using 256 colors. The 256 color images take up less memory and hard disk space than the True Color RGB option. Web Photo: Scans an image at the appropriate resolution for display on the monitor.
UMAX Astra 6400/6450 Owner’s Guide Changing the Resolution Setting Scanning resolution is measured in dots per inch (DPI). Resolution determines the amount of information the scanner will capture in a scanned image. The higher the resolution, the finer the image detail, and the larger the file sizes.
The following table gives you an idea of the file sizes you can expect based on the original image size and the resolution setting you specify. These values are based on scanning images in 24-bit, True Color RGB mode. Image sizes shown below are given in megabytes. Table 1.
