Getting a closer look (zooming)
Zoom in on the selection area to look at it more closely or make 
changes to it. Zoom out to view the entire preview image, or so you 
can select a different area of the image to view. Zooming in on the 
selection area before making changes or performing a final scan 
provides the best final results. The zoom commands are not available 
if you have not created a selection area.
Zooming in and out does not change which part of the image becomes 
the final scan, nor does it change the final output size (physical output 
dimensions). To change which part of the image becomes the final 
scanned image, see "Cropping or selecting an area for final scan" on 
page 32. To resize the image, see "Resizing (output dimensions)" on 
page 35.

To zoom out

Selecting output type 
When Automatically Set Type is selected, the scanning software 
automatically chooses an output type based on the type of item you 
are scanning. However, you can change the output type yourself when 
you want. Choose the output type based on how you will use the final 
scanned image as well as the type of item you are scanning.
