Determine the image resolution (between 50 and 300 dpi) for on screen previewing. Lower resolutions give faster previewing.

Sometimes, the performance of your workstation will cause the scanner to make repeated "back-ups" during scanning in order to ensure correct and continuous processing of scanned data. Back-ups can be avoided by reducing the maximum scanning speed thus refitting the scanner's performance to that of your workstation.

After scanning, your original will normally be found hanging at the back of the scanner. If the scanner is placed close to a wall, it may be difficult to access the original in order to remove it from the scanner. However, if the Rewind Paper option is selected, the original will be rewound back to its starting position after scanning. In this case, it can be ejected and removed from the front of the scanner.

With this option you can select whether to load your original in the center of the scanner or aligned to the right. See loading preferences.

There are two methods the scanner software can use to detect the length of the image: Paper detects the end of the paper by mechanical means, while Image performs a prescan of the image and uses software to work out the length of the prescanned image. The Paper method is quicker because it doesn't require a prescan; but the Image method may be more accurate (if the paper is longer than the image).

This option is provided so that you can set a maximum to the auto-detected length of an image.
