From the Main Menu select the program where you want to place the image. You can select Drawing, Word Processing, or Scrapbook (if placing the image in Word Processing). 3. Place the image face up on a flat surface, and position the scanner on the image. 4. Select Scan from the File menu. The following message appears: Scanning Hints: Scanning in a smooth, straight line yields a smoother image. Jerky hand motions, or slipping from side-to-side results in a jagged, wavy, or slanted image. Using a ruler or straight edged object may help in scanning straight.

Immediately, press the start button once and release. See page 321 for the location of the start button. 7.

If the scanner does not move for ten seconds, Ensemble cancels the scan. 8. When you finish scanning the image, the light underneath the scanner goes off. When printed, the image appears more clear than when viewed on your monitor. (The ink-jet printer prints the scanned image at a higher resoultion than the monitor displays the scanned image.) 9.
