Buttons

There are a number of buttons that can be used to initiate or abort scanning.

Preview button

This button does a quick preview scan of the scan region, and displays it in the preview window.

If the scanner can detect inserted images and if the memory buffer is valid, the raw data is read from the memory buffer instead of the scanner.

If you want to preview more than one frame at a time, put a list of frames you want to scan in the "Device|Frame numbers" box You can also put a letter indicating the additional rotation for a frame next to the frame number (i.e. you can use "1-3,4R,7L" to specify frames 1-3, frame 4 rotated 90 degrees clockwise and frame 7 rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise).

The frame number is combined with the "Device|Disk file name" option by incrementing the digits prior to a "+" in the file name, or by incrementing the last digit found in the file name. For instance, setting "Device|Frame numbers" to "1,3,5" and setting the "Disk file name" to "scan123xyz.tif" will scan scan123xyx.tif, scan125xyz.tif, and scan127xyz.tif.

Prev Mem button

This button works the same as the "Preview" button, except it reads the raw scan data from the memory buffer instead of the scanner.

Scan button

This button does a scan of the scanner using the options in the Options tab. The output of the scan is displayed in the Scan tab, and optionally written to the file types enabled in the Files tab.

If the scanner can detect inserted images and if the memory buffer is valid, the raw data is read from the memory buffer instead of the scanner.

Scan Mem button

This button works the same as the "Scan" button, except it reads the raw scan data from the memory buffer instead of the scanner.

Zoom In button

This button zooms into the image in the Preview tab, or if the Scan tab is displayed it zooms into the image in the Scan tab. The zoom is a factor of two.

Zoom Out button

This button zooms out of the image in the Preview tab, or if the Scan tab is displayed it zooms out of the image in the Scan tab. The zoom is a factor of two.

Abort button

This button aborts a long-running operation, such as scanning, cropping, or calibrating.

Eject button

This button ejects film from the scanner if possible. If using an APS adapter, this rewinds the film in the cassette.

If the adapter has been ejected or rewound previously, pressing this button again re-inserts the film.
