How to Setup the Toolbox Print Button Functions

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

Print Button

This function scans an item, displays the Print Layout Window for changing paper size, print settings, size and position, 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.

After the Scan button is pressed, the scanner will start scanning the item, and the scanned image will appear in the Print Layout Window. Adjust print layout settings and edit the image as required, and click the [Print] button to initiate printing.

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

	When the Auto mode is selected, the settings for the Scan Mode, Image Quality, Paper Size and Brightness categories cannot be selected. The following settings are used to scan.
		Scan Mode	Image Quality	Paper Size
	Platen	Color (Multi-Scan)	Standard (300 dpi)	A4 (Letter)
	Film	Scan all frames	Standard (300 dpi)	35mm Film

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.

Platen Selected

• 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.

With the Macintosh version, the High Quality (600 dpi) option may not be selectable with certain Paper Sizes since images more than 4,096 pixels in width cannot be printed.

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

• Scan all frames

The Image Quality is automatically set to High Speed (150dpi) when the Scan Mode is set to Index scan.

• 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.
