3.6 The preview window
Click the Preview... button in the main window to show the preview window. This is only possible,
if the backend allows to set the scan area options. The preview window is freely resizeable now.
- Scan Size
- You can choose between "Fullsize", "UserSize" and a lot of predefined sizes.
- Selection rectangle
- Move the mouse over the borders or the corners of the rectangle. The mouse cursor shape will change.
Now press down the left mouse button and move the mouse to change the scan area size. Click the left mouse
button inside the rectangle and move the mouse to move the entire rectangle.
- Scan Preview
- Click this button to do a preview scan. The preview resolution depends on the preview
windows size and zoom level. A preview scan with a big preview window and a high zoom level might
be slower than a preview scan with a small preview window and no zoom, because the scan has to
be done with higher resolution.
If the backend supports the preview option, this option is automatically set.
- Close
- Close the window.
