Getting a closer look (zooming)
Zoom in on the selection area to look at it more closely or make
changes to it. Zoom out to view the entire preview image, or so you
can select a different area of the image to view. Zooming in on the
selection area before making changes or performing a final scan
provides the best final results. The zoom commands are not available
if you have not created a selection area.
Zooming in and out does not change which part of the image becomes
the final scan, nor does it change the final output size (physical output
dimensions). To change which part of the image becomes the final
scanned image, see
"Cropping or selecting an area for final scan" on
page 42 . To resize the image, see "Resizing (output dimensions)" on
page 45 .

you want. Choose the output type based on how you will use the final
scanned image as well as the type of item you are scanning.
