Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area
Selecting a preview mode
Once you have selected your basic settings and resolution, you can preview your image and select or adjust the image area in a Preview window. There are two types of preview.
Normal preview displays your previewed image(s) in their entirety. You can 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.
Note:|
Some of the settings that you change after previewing an image are reset if you change the preview mode.
Depending on your document type and the Epson Scan mode you are using, you may not be able to change the preview type.
If you preview image(s) without the Preview dialog displayed, image(s) are displayed in the default preview mode. If you preview with the Preview dialog displayed, image(s) are displayed in the preview mode that was displayed just before previewing.
To resize the Preview window, click and drag the corner of the Preview window.
See the Help for more details on Epson Scan.

For best results and image exposure, make sure all sides of the marquee are located inside the preview image. Do not include any areas around the preview image in the marquee.
Adjusting a marquee
You can move the marquee and adjust its size. If you are viewing a normal preview, you can create multiple marquees (up to 50) on each image to scan different image areas as separate scan files.
