Understanding EPSON TWAIN Pro Features / Using the EPSON TWAIN Pro Main Dialog Box

Specifying Source and Target Image Sizes

The Source values indicate the size of the area that is displayed or selected in the Preview window.

The Target values indicate what size the image will be when it is output.

Note:
The Source and Target size settings are closely related to the Resolution setting. If you change these settings arbitrarily, the resulting image may not be what you expect.

Width (W) and height (H) values

The Source and Target width and height values are indicated in the selected unit of measure. When the Preview window is open, you change these values by typing new values in the fields and pressing the Tab key, or by resizing the marquee, or frame, surrounding a portion of the image in the Preview window. See Using Marquees for more information.

When the Preview window is closed, The Source values cannot be adjusted, and you can only adjust the Target values by using the Scale slider.

Units

Select pixels, inches, or cm as the unit of measure.

Storage size indicator

The storage size of an image is indicated in KB or MB. As you change Target values, this value also changes.

Clicking the Lock button allows you to scale a selected portion of an image to fit a fixed Target size. This is especially useful when printing. In this case, enter the printable area of the paper in the Source width and height fields, and then click the Lock button to fix the Target size. When you resize the active marquee, the selected area is automatically scaled to fit the Target size.

Scale

Use the Scale settings to reduce or enlarge Target size proportionally. The range of possible reduction or enlargement depends on the current Resolution setting.

Move the slider or click the left or right arrows to change the Target size in 1% increments. You can also type a value in the Scale field and press the Tab key.
