Scanning Page 20
Using Marquees
A marquee is a frame around an entire image, or a portion of an image so
you can scan only the most important part. To create a marquee, follow
these steps:
1 Move the mouse pointer over the preview image; the pointer becomes
a cross hair.
2 Position the pointer in the corner of the area you want to select and
press the mouse button.
3 Hold down the mouse button as you drag the mouse across the image,
creating a marquee.
4 Release the button when the marquee contains the image area you
want.
5 When you’re ready to scan, click the Scan button. The scanned image
appears in your application window.
If you need to adjust the marquee size or position, or delete the marquee,
see Adjusting a Marquee
.
If the mouse pointer
doesn’t change to a
cross hair, click the
Preview button again.
