How To Adjust Scan Settings

ScanThru

Adjust Scan Settings

You can adjust scan settings from the Options Panel. To show the Options Panel, click the expand button in the ScanThru Main window.
Use the Options Panel to do the following:
  • Customize Scan Settings
    Scan Settings allows you to define how your image or document will be scanned: choose the color mode to scan it by selecting a proper Image Type, set the scan resolution and specify the page format by choosing the Document Type and setting the appropriate values for the page width and height. You can also reduce or enlarge the linear size of the image by adjusting the Scale.
    To customize scan settings, click the Scan Settings bar in the Options Panel. The Scan Settings tab will appear.
    To get a finer picture and make your scanner capture more details from the source, you can increase the Resolution value. The changes you make to the Resolution do not appear on the image Preview Pane, and you will see the result after image scanning is finished.
    The Image Type and Resolution parameters as well as the size of the scanned area are the main factors that have an influence on the resulting image size. The higher the color resolution determinate by Image Type value and the scan resolution determinate by value, the larger the size of the image you get from the scanner.
    Increasing the Resolution value also extends the time needed to scan the image. So, if the process takes a long time, you can decrease the Resolution value.

  • On the Scan Settings tab you can view or select the Document Source. Use Flatbed or ADF to scan photos, images or multipage documents.
  • If you are not satisfied with the adjustments you made to the scan settings, you can restore the default ones.
    To restore default scan settings, click the Reset button in the Preview Pane of the ScanThru Main window.
