CHAPTER 3. Scanning Basics
VistaScan is the primary program or driver you use to scan with
your Astra 2100U scanner. It is a TWAIN-compliant program,
which means that it can be run from other programs that support
scanning, like PhotoDeluxe, OmniPage, and others. It is also a
stand-alone program, which allows you to scan images for a variety
of uses, even without launching another program first.
Setting VistaScan Preferences
Preferences control scanner settings that you generally do not
modify every time you use the scanner. The Preference settings are
used as the default settings for several of the scan settings.
To access the VistaScan Preferences, click the
Preferences
icon in
the upper right corner of the VistaScan window.
The Preferences cover three areas:
•
General
•
Scan Destination
•
Scanner Information
A tab at the top of the Preferences window indicates each
VistaScan preference group. To view the Preference settings for an
area, click on the associated tab.
General
The General tab contains preference settings that control color
matching and color correction, and whether to display the ruler and
tips.
