Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area Once you have selected your basic settings and resolution, you can preview your image and select or adjust the area of the image(s) you want to scan. EPSON Scan displays the preview image(s) in a separate Preview window on your screen. There are two types of preview: ■ Normal preview displays your previewed images in their entirety. You must select the scan area and make any image quality adjustments manually. Normal is the default preview type in Professional Mode, but you can also select it in Home Mode, if available. ■ Thumbnail preview displays your previewed images as thumbnails. EPSON Scan automatically locates the edges of your scan area and applies automatic exposure settings to the images. Thumbnail is the default preview type in Home Mode, but you can also select it in Professional Mode, if available. Note: Depending on your document type and other settings, Normal preview may be automatically selected and you will not be able to change to Thumbnail preview. Selecting EPSON Scan Settings 51
