How to Setup the Toolbox Copy Button Functions

Most of the Toolbox versions will have the same buttons and functions. However, some versions may have more functions than others.

Copy Button

This function scans an item and sends the image to the printer.
To print the scanned image, the printer driver must be installed. You must also have the scanner and printer connected to the computer and ready to use.

With Windows, a portion of the window's contents may be different when used with some printer models.

Select Source

Click the down-arrow next to 'Select Source' to choose the appropriate scanning source.

For scanner models that do not support film scanning, there will only be one option for 'Select Source'.

  • Platen

For film supported scanner models there will usually be three options.

  • Platen
  • Film
  • Auto mode

Scan Mode

Click the down-arrow next to 'Scan Mode' to choose the appropriate scanning mode.

Platen Selected
For scanner models that do not support film scanning, the Scan Mode choices will be:

  • Black & White
  • Grayscale
  • Color
  • Color (Magazine)
  • Color (Multi-Scan)
  • Color (Auto crop)
Black and White Scans an item as a black and white image.
Grayscale Scans an item as a grayscale image (similar to a monochrome picture).
Color Scans an item as a color image with the Descreen function set to Off.
Color (Magazine) Scans an item as a color image with the Descreen function set to On.
Color (Multi-Scan) Scans items in color. If more than one item is placed on the document glass of the scanner, each one is automatically cut out, straightened, and placed in an individual file.
Color (Auto crop) Scans items in color. Automatically detects item positions and scans the smallest possible area into which all items will fit.
* Moir é patterns may appear in images scanned from printed materials. The Descreen function limits this to the greatest possible extent. However, scanning takes longer when Descreen is set to On.
* Multiple items will be printed when multiple items are scanned with the Color (Multi-Scan) mode.

Film Selected
Film supported scanner models will usually have three options.

  • Scan all frames
  • Display thumbnails
  • Index scan

Image Quality

Click the down-arrow next to 'Image Quality' to choose the desired scan quality.

  • High Speed (150dpi)
  • Standard (300dpi)
  • High Quality (600dpi)
High Speed Scans with an Image Quality of 150 dpi.
Standard Scans with an Image Quality of 300 dpi.
High Quality Scans with an Image Quality of 600 dpi.
If Fit to paper is selected in the "Scale" section, the resolution will change automatically in response.

Film Selected
Film supported scanner models will usually have three options.

  • Scan all frames
  • Display thumbnails
  • Index scan

Paper Size

Click the down-arrow next to 'Paper Size' to choose the appropriate paper size.

Platen Selected
For scanner models that do not support film scanning, the Scan Mode choices will be:

  • A4
  • Letter
  • Business Card
  • 4" x 6" Portrait
  • 4" x 6" Landscape
  • Stitch-assist (11" x 17")
  • Stitch-assist (A3)
  • Stitch-assist (Platen x2)
  • Custom (8.50x11.69 Inches)

Note: The above paper sizes may not appear in all Toolbox versions.

If the Stitch-assist (11"x17"), Stitch-assist (A3) or Stitch-assist (Platen x2) option is selected, the program scans the left half and then the right half of the item, and merges halves into one image.
If the Custom option is selected, the Paper Size Settings window opens. Select a [Unit] option, input [Width] and [Height] values, and click the [OK] button.

* The Paper Size cannot be selected when the Scan Mode is set to Color (Multi-Scan) or Color (Auto crop).

Film Selected

Film supported scanner models will have the have the following option.

  • 100%
  • 141%(A5->A4)
  • 200%(4"x6"->A4)
  • 400%(MAX)
  • Fit to paper
  • Custom (100%)

[Fit to paper] automatically adjusts the dimensions of the scanned image so that the entire image fits on the printing stock. However, since the image's aspect ratio (width to height) is not changed, white spaces may appear at the top and bottom or sides.
[100%] prints the image at the original size, positioning it at the top left corner of the printing stock.
If the [Custom] option is selected, the Scale Setting window will display. Input a value and click the [OK] button. Values can be input in the range of 25% to 400%.
