    Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area
    Once  you  have  selected  your basic  settings and resolution,  you  can preview  your image and select  or  adjust  the  image area  of
    the  image(s) in  a  Preview  window on  your screen. There are  two  types  of preview.
    Normal  preview  displays  your previewed  image(s) in  their  entirety. You must  select  the  scan area  and make any
    image quality adjustments  manually.
    Thumbnail preview  displays  your previewed  image(s) as  thumbnail(s).  Epson  Scan  automatically  locates  the  edges of
    your scan area, applies  automatic exposure settings to  the  image(s), and rotates  the  image(s) if  necessary.
    To  preview  your image,  follow  the  steps below.
    Note:
    If you  are  using Full Auto  Mode or  Office Mode,  the  thumbnail  preview  is not  available.
    Click  Preview . If you  want  to  change  the  preview  mode, select  the  Normal  or Thumbnail  tab  on  Preview  window if  it is

    type.

    Preview  window.
    If you  preview  with  the  Preview  dialog  not  displayed, image(s) will  be  displayed  in  the  default preview
    mode. If you  preview  with  the  Preview  dialog  displayed, image(s) will  be  displayed  in  the  preview
    mode that  was  displayed  just before previewing.
    Some of the  settings that  you  change  after preview  will  be  initialized  if  you  change  the  Preview  mode.

    Creating a Marquee on a Preview  Image
    A marquee  is a  moving  dotted  line that  appears on  the  edges of your preview  image to  indicate  the  scan area.
    Documents  or photos Film or Slides 
    						
    							You can move the  marquee  and adjust  its size. If you  are  viewing  the  normal  preview, you  can create  multiple  marquees (up
    to  50)  on  each image to  scan different  image areas  in  separate scan files.
    Note for  film or slides:
    When you  use the  Thumbnail preview, Epson  Scan  automatically  creates marquees around  your image(s) for
    you. If you  need  to  adjust  a  marquee,  click inside  it and click the  
     delete marquee  icon  before completing
    the  steps in  this  section.  If you  do  not  need  to  adjust  any  marquees,  skip  to  Adjusting  the  Color  and Other
    Image  Settings .
    To  draw a  marquee,  move your cursor  over  a  preview  image.  The  pointer becomes  a  set  of cross-hairs.
    Note:
    If you  are  viewing  the  normal  preview  and you  only  have  one  photo on  the  document table, you  can click the
     auto  locate icon  to  automatically  draw a  marquee,  then skip  to  step  3.
    Position  the  pointer in  the  area  where you  want  to  place  the  corner  of your marquee  and click.  Hold down the  mouse
    button and drag the  cross-hairs over  the  image to  the  opposite  corner  of the  desired scan area. Then release  the  mouse
    button.  You see  the  moving  dotted  line of the  marquee. 
    						
    							Do one  of the  following to  adjust  the  marquee.To  move the  marquee,  position  your cursor  inside  the  marquee.  The  pointer becomes  a  hand. Click and drag the
    marquee  to  the  desired location.
    To  resize  the  marquee,  position  your cursor  over  the  edge  or  corner  of the  marquee.  The  pointer becomes  a
    straight or  angled double-arrow.  Click and drag the  edge  or  corner  to  the  desired size.
    Note:
    To  restrict the  movement of the  marquee  to  vertical or  horizontal only, hold  down the  Shift  key as
    you  move the  marquee.
    To  restrict the  size  of the  marquee  to  the  current  proportions,  hold  down the  Shift  key as  you  resize
    the  marquee.
    For  best  results and image exposure, make sure all  sides  of the  marquee  are  located  inside  the
    preview  image.  Do not  include any  of the  area  around  the  preview  image in  the  marquee.
    If you  are  viewing  the  normal  preview, you  can create  multiple  marquees (up  to  50). Just  draw them as  described  in
    steps 1  through 3, or  click the  
     copy  marquee  icon  to  create  additional  marquees of the  same size. You can move
    and resize  all  the  marquees as  described  in  step  3. To  delete a  marquee,  click inside  it and click the  
     delete marquee
    icon.
    Note: 
    						
    							If you  draw multiple  marquees,  make sure you  click All in  the  Preview  window before you  scan.  Otherwise,
    only  the  area  inside  the  last marquee  you  drew will  be  scanned.
