for it to "sink in" that the settings for Save were completely separate from the settings for Print and there was a certain amount of pandemonium in the house when a very small snapshot took 1.8MB to save and when I tried to edit it after the save I found it uneditable and rendered in line art mode.
A scanned color photo of my granddaughter, when rendered through the Advanced Halftone process and imported into PageMaker produced an excellent image, when printed on a laser printer. I was very pleased with the result, due in large part to a fair amount of experimentation with editing tools.
I tried scanning using the Scanman Desk Accessory while in Word 4.0. The scanned image had to be saved to the Clipboard and the results were not good (as noted previously). I conclude that line art is the only satisfactory subject matter when the Clipboard/Scrapbook facility is used. The Desk Accessory had some memory restrictions and a caveat in the user’s manual “strongly recommended” Scanman being used as an application rather than a DA when using MultiFinder.
A lot of the enjoyment of owning a scanner depends upon the quality of the printer available. A standard ImageWriter’s 72 dpi capability effectively excludes it from any serious gray scale printing however it would be great for line art. ImageWriter II & ImageWriter LQ with resolution capablities of 144 & 216 dpi ,
respectively, open many more possibilites
Despite restrictions placed by printing equipment, Scanman
does a good job. It is only slightly pricier than one of it’s
