Scanner Setup

This is the first place you click to add a new profile.   This will walk you through setting up the scanner.

This will select which scanner to use.   Most scanners will have 2 choices here.   A wia scanner and a twain scanner.   The different drivers will give different results.   If your scans are not as expected then changing the scanner source.

This will show a list of all profiles.   You can click on the profile you want to use.

Will save the current profile.   It will also ask if you want to set this as the default.

You will set a name you will understand for the profile.     Like Black & White letter size.

This will display the scanner source you have chosen.

Clear setting and reset this profile.

This will display the scanner interface.   It is best to leave this unchecked.

This will indicate if Amsoft can communicate with the scanner.   You can not change this field.

Delete the current profile.

Make the current profile the on you will use next.

This drop down will give you many choices.   Some of them will be letter size, legal size, along with many photo sizes.

Use this to set the compression for the image.   The more compression the smaller the image.   For color images you should use jpeg.   For black & white you should use Group 4 compression.   These are available when you click on the arrow.

This will show a screen showing progress of the scan.

The higher the resolution the better quality of the image.     However, the higher the quality the more space that will be reuired to save it.   We suggest you start with 125 by 125.   If it is not clear enogh move it up by 25 untill you are happy with it.   There should be no need to go over 300 by 300.
