Ten things you should be aware of using scanners

1, do not forget to lock the scanner. Because the scanner uses a precision optical system including optical lenses, make its structure more fragile; In order to avoid damage to optical components, scanners are usually equipped with a special lock/unlock mechanism, mobile scanners should be locked before the optical components, but to pay special attention to the use of the scanner again before, must first unlock! Otherwise, it is likely due to a momentary negligence caused the damage of the scanner transmission mechanism!

2, do not use organic solvents to clean the scanner, to prevent damage to the scanner's shell and optical components.

3, do not let the scanner work in the dust more environment. Be sure to keep the scanner glass clean and not damaged, because it is directly related to the scanner's scanning accuracy and recognition rate; if there is dust on it, it is best to remove it with the fur tiger that we normally dust off the camera lens.

4, do not live plug scanner. When you install a scanner, especially when you use the EPP port scanner, to prevent the motherboard from burning, you must turn off the computer before plugging.

5, do not ignore the scanner driver update. Many users usually only pay attention to upgrade the video card and other device drivers, but often ignore the upgrade scanner driver, and the driver directly affect the performance of the scanner, and involves a variety of software and hardware system compatibility, in order to make the scanner better work, should often to its manufacturer's Web site to download updated driver.

6, do not use too high resolution. When working with a scanner, many users set the resolution of the scanner very high, hoping to improve the recognition rate, but in fact, when scanning the general text to choose about 300DPI resolution can be, too high resolution may reduce the recognition rate, this is because too high resolution will more carefully scan the details of printed text, It is easier to identify flaws and defects in printed documents, resulting in a lower recognition rate.

7, do not shut down the system virtual memory. If you scan an image on a computer with a lower memory configuration, there is often a lack of system memory, and you can use the remaining space on your hard disk as virtual memory to complete the scan, but when virtual memory is disabled, the scanner cannot continue to work.

8, do not set the compression ratio is too small. In the scanner to complete the image scanning task, we often need to choose the right image to save the format to save the file, some users in the selection of JPEG format, always think that the compression ratio set smaller and easier to save and transfer, but if set too young will seriously lose image information.

9, do not let the scanner work in the vibration of the environment. If the scanner is not stable, then the scanner will need to consume extra power in the process to find the ideal scanning point, even if it is difficult to achieve the desired vertical resolution of the scanner.

10, do not frequently switch scanners. Some scanners require a higher, before each use to ensure that the scanner before the computer to turn on the power supply, so that the frequent switch scanners the direct consequence is to frequently start the computer, and frequently switch to the scanner itself is extremely unfavorable.
