Launching ScanWizard Industry
ScanWizard Industry can be launched in either Stand-alone or Plug-in mode.
• From Stand-alone mode: Double-click the ScanWizard Industry icon on the
desktop, or choose Start, Programs, Microtek ScanWizard Industry for
Windows, and then Microtek ScanWizard Industry.
• From Plug-in mode: Choose the Import or Acquire command from the File

After being launched, the main screen will appear, but the very first time that
ScanWizard Industry is started up, the three windows will all appear.
The next time you start up ScanWizard Industry, the main screen will look
exactly like the last time you exited the software. This means that if you had all
three windows open the last time you quit ScanWizard Industry, the same three
windows will appear the next time you start it up.

of the Preview window.

Preview Area
The preview area is where the overview or prescan image appears after you click
the Overview, Prescan, or Scan button.
The dimensions of preview area depend on the sizes supported by the scanner.
For example, if your scanner only supports a maximum size of 12” x 16”, the
maximum preview area will be limited under this limitation.
To increase or decrease the
preview window, drag the
window to resize

8 ScanWizard Industry Reference Manual
However, for some scanner models (ex. MII-900 Plus), you are allowed to resize
the preview area as you wish.
For example, the MII-900 Plus offers you two kinds of dimensions of preview
area, which are 14" x 17" (default) and 14" x 52" (maximum), depending on
which one you select in the Scan Frame settings. You can use the maximum size
instead of the default size for the preview area by entering a value greater than
17, for example, 20, in the Height (H) edit box of the Scan Frame settings. Then,
press the Overview button to perform a preview of the image. Thereafter, the
preview area will be resized to the maximum size of 14" x 52" at once.
Default size of preview area Maximum size of preview area
Please take note that you cannot use the Scan Frame settings to resize the
preview area given by using the Scan Frame tool.
For MII-900 Plus, enter a value
greater than 17 to expand the
preview area up to maximun size of
14" x 52" if needed; enter a value
less than or equal to 17 to reverse
the value back to the default size.

Scan
The Scan button scans the images on your scanner and delivers the images to
your selected folder or application. The images that are scanned are the scan
jobs that have been checked in the Scan Job Queue window. This is the default
button when ScanWizard Industry is launched either as a stand-alone or from
an application program.

TIFF, JPG, or J2K as the export file format, and click Save to perform the final
scan.
File name
This is the file name to store images.
Save as type
This menu box lets you select a file format when saving a file. If TIF is selected,
the scanned images will be automatically identified as “Image00001.tif”,
“Image00002.tif”, etc. You can change the default root file name to uniquely
label your scan jobs.
Auto filename
If Auto filename is checked, the file name consists of the file prefix, plus the file
serial number. If unchecked, no file serial number is appended to the file name.

12 ScanWizard Industry Reference Manual
• File prefix: This edit box lets you enter a root file name. “Image” is the
default.
• Start file #: This edit box lets you enter a starting number to be appended to
the file name. “00001” is the default.
Send image to application after saving:

scanned image with different image quality. This button is activated only when
the file format is set as TIFF or JPG; otherwise it will not be shown.
• If “TIF” is selected, a “TIFF Save Options” window will appear after clicking
the File Option button. Specify your requirements for your file as your
desired. If you choose “None” in the Encoding option, the file compression
will not be available for adjusting.
• If “JPG is selected, a “JPG Save Options” window will appear after clicking the
File Option button.

Magnify Glass (Zoom) Tool
The Magnify Glass tool lets you zoom in (magnify) and zoom out (reduce) your
view of the image. Only your view of the preview image is changed; the actual
size of the image remains unaffected.

the magnification levels increase from 100% to 200%, to 400%, and to the
maximum 800%.

selected, click the image. A minus sign will be in the middle of the lens to indicate
the image is being zoomed out.
To use the Magnify Glass tool:
1. Click the Magnify Glass tool.
2. Place the pointer — now a lens with a plus sign inside it — on the image and
click. To reduce the view, hold down the Shift key (the Magnify Glass tool
changing to show a minus sign inside it), and click again.
