Scanning Film Using the Scanner Buttons (LiDE 500F)

This method of scanning is a simple and convenient way to print or load images into image editing programs, all with a single push of a button. With this method, you can scan without adjusting settings each time.

Printing with the [COPY] Button This button is programmed to send the scanned image to a printer.

Loading Images with the [SCAN] Button This button is programmed to load the scanned image to the ArcSoft PhotoStudio image editing program.

	*	To use the CanoScan Toolbox Copy function, the scanner and printer should be connected to the computer, all powered on, and the drivers should be installed properly and functioning. See the printer's instruction manual for printing preparation procedures.
	*	You cannot scan films with the [PDF] and [E-MAIL] buttons.
	*	The scanner buttons are designed to work with CanoScan Toolbox. After you change a CanoScan Toolbox setting, that setting is used to scan the next time a scanner button is pressed.
	*	Only 35 mm color films can be scanned with the scanner buttons or CanoScan Toolbox. Monochrome films cannot be scanned with these methods.
	*	To scan monochrome films, start ScanGear CS from an application program and use the Advanced Mode to scan.
	*	The estimated time remaining will display when film is scanned. The time shown is a rough estimate that will vary according to the computer system environment and scan settings.
	*	If a portion of the film base outside the image or the film guide shows in the preview image, select a scan area with the cropping frame before scanning. Including a portion of the film base or the film guide in the scan may cause the coloration of the scanned image to be off.
