Main Window

With Image Manager Main Window you obtain the image from scanner or from file. Typically you set up the MFP device for scanning and control the scan process.

 

Main Window contains Caption, Main Menu, and Toolbar in the top part, Status Line, Options Bar, and Preview Pane.

Caption

Shows the name of the application. Also it has platform-specific controls: system menu, s Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons.

Main Menu

Contains item groups File, Edit, Tools, View, Help. Menu items represented in the toolbar have correspondent icons.

Toolbar

Contains buttons representing frequently used menu commands. Every toolbar button has a tooltip and a status line hint. The combobox in the left part of the toolbar selects the scanner device and updates Main Window accordingly.

Options Bar

Controls the scanner attached to USB or LPT port of your computer. Typically you use Options Bar to start preview or acquisition. With Options Bar you can customize device-specific options, such as Color Composition, Image Resolution and Scan Area Size. You can also save current option values as Default Options or as a named option set.

Preview Pane

Shows a low-resolution image of the document you are going to scan. Initially the Preview Pane is blank. To generate preview, press Preview button. Each successive preview operation replaces contents of the Preview Pane with new image. You can drag mouse within the Preview Pane to select image area for subsequent acquisition.

Status Line

Shows estimated image size as width x height = data size, and information about selected scan device. If the image requires considerable resources - memory, disk space, or time - the image size is shown in red color. Occasionally Status Line shows the hint about selected menu command. When the scanning is in progress, Status Line shows the progress indicator and the Cancel button.

 

Main Window looks differently depending on scan-capable devices detected at program startup.

If Image Manager hasn't found scan-capable devices at startup, the device selection combobox is empty; Options Toolbar and Preview Pane aren't shown.

If one or more devices are detected, Main Window shows the device name in the device selection combobox and displays correspondent Options Toolbar and Preview Pane.
