Scanning
Quick Start to Scanning
Use these steps to get going with ScanGear CS-S quickly, with the installed
settings.
Note:
ScanGear CS-S does not launch unless a scanner is powered on
and recognized by Windows.
Preparing the Scanner
Before you start scanning, be sure the scanner is connected and powered on.
It is recommended that you power on your scanner before you turn on your
PC. If you want to ensure that the scanner is functioning correctly, run the
Test Scanner from FB1200S tab. See
“Testing the Scanner”
in Chapter 4,
“Scanning Devices.”
Place the item to be scanned image side down, and position it squarely on the
platen.
Previewing an Image
The advantage of using ScanGear CS-S is that you can preview the image and
make changes before actually scanning. That way, you can make sure you are
getting the most out of your scanner’s capabilities and of your time spent
scanning and working with the image.
Some applications, (for example OCR applications) do not require the
ScanGear CS-S window to open before the scan starts. However, ScanGear
CS-S has settings such as Text Enhanced that automatically give you the best
available scan without previewing the image.
To preview an image:
1.
Place the item to be scanned on the scanner.
2.
You must select a source if you have not already done so. On the menu of
your imaging application, use the command that selects the data source.
On many imaging applications, the menu item looks similar to the
following picture:
In the Imaging application that is included in the Windows 95/98
Accessories, the command is “Select Scanner” on the File menu.
