image and only the most general case is given here. Please refer to your application’s user
documentation for details on its usage.
For Windows Users

1. From Microsoft Windows, launch the application that will be used to call VistaScan. (e.g. Presto!
PageManager or Adobe PhotoShop LE).
2. Pull down the “File” menu.
3. Choose “Select Source”. Remember the specific wording of parameters may vary among different
applications.
