CHAPTER 2

Scanning Items

Now that you've set up your scanner and installed all the software,

you're ready to begin scanning. This chapter will explain how to

scan and how to adjust your scanning in order to get the best

possible image.

The Easy TWAIN Module

Before you can start scanning you will need to tell your scanner

some information about the document you wish to scan: How big is

it? How high do you want the quality to be? Is it color? Et cetera.

There are two ways to scan—the quick way (prescanning) involves

getting the basic image into the computer, and the other way

involves more tinkering, but of course makes for a better image.

We'll begin first by looking at the Easy TWAIN Module user

interface (hereafter referred to as "TWAIN screen"), which is where

you'll find possibilities for making very fine adjustments.

To access the TWAIN screen, do the following:

1. Start up Microsoft Windows.

2. Start ScanOffix Pro. You'll find ScanOffix Pro on the Windows

Programs menu next to all your other programs.

3. Choose Select Source from the File menu.

4. Select SF-1200CE+ 32

5. Click on Select
