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 Start button from the scanner window
to scan the image.
How to Use PreScan to Adjust an Image:
1
Place the original face up in the Automatic Document Feeder, or face down on the glass platen.
2
In the TWAIN-32 Brother MFL Pro Colour Setup dialog box, click the PreScan button.
The entire original will be scanned into the PC and will appear in the Scanning Area.
3
To crop a portion of the original to be scanned, drag any side or corner of the dotted outline in
the Scanning Area with the left mouse button. Adjust the dotted outline until it surrounds only
the portion of the original you wish to scan.
4
Place the original face up in the Automatic Document Feeder again, if you used the Automatic
Document Feeder in step 1.
5
Adjust the settings for Resolution, Scan Type and Size in the Scanner window, as needed.
6
Click Start.
This time only the selected area of the original will appear in the PaperPort
®
window.
7
In the PaperPort
®
window, use the options available to refine the image. (See PaperPort
®
for
Brother Online Documentation on the CD-ROM for details.)
