Menus

There are a number of commands that can be chosen from the menus in the menu bar which are described below.

File|Load options

This command lets you load the current options settings from a file.

File|Save options

This command lets you save the current options settings to a file.

File|Default options

This command sets all options for the current scanner and scan mode to their default values.

File|Release memory

This command releases the memory buffer for the scan. This is useful if you need more memory for another program.

File|Quit

This command causes VueScan to exit.

Device|Preview

Device|Calibrate

This command causes a scanner calibration on those scanners that support calibration.

On the PhotoSmart scanner, this is primarily useful for the print mode. You need to make sure you run this before making any scans of photographs (i.e. 5x7 prints). It creates vuescan.s10 (original PhotoSmart) or vuescan.s20 (PhotoSmart S20), which contains the calibration data for each of the 2700 scanner elements. If your scans have streaks in the scan direction, you probably need to clean the dust out of the scanner and then recalibrate.

On the Canon FS4000, this command creates vuescan.fs1, vuescan.fs2, and vuescan.fs3. These files contain the calibration data for the negative, slide and APS adapters.

Device|Focus

This command focuses the scanner. The center of this focus area is displayed on the preview with a small animated box, and can also be changed with the "Device|Focus X offset" and "Device|Focus Y offset" options (options displayed only when the scanner is capable of this).
