PRINTER/SCANNER
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics
application, you should try different settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which
settings best suit your needs.
PreScanning an Image
PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version of the
image will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image so you can see how it
will look. The PreScan button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from
the image. When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Fax Start button to scan the image.
