Switch

/aspect
Preserve aspect ratio.

/dither
Scan in two colors (black and white) with dither.

/port:<n>
Scan from port <n> hex (default is 300h).

/verbose
Print input an output dimensions.

/s<n>
Scan in <n> grey shades (2, 16, or 256).

/color16
Scan in 32,768 colors (Targa 16).

/color24
Scan in 16,777,216 colors (Targa 24).

/b<n>
Set brightness to <n> (0 - dark, 50 - light).

/c<n>
Set contrast to <n> (0 - dark, 50 - light).

/aletter
Set scan range to 8.5 x 11.

/ainvoice
Set scan range to 8.5 x 5.5.

/t<n>
Set scanning time to <n> (1 - fast, 2 - slow).

/w<x>,<y>,<w>,<h>
Set scan window in inches:
<x> is the x origin (x must be greater than or equal to 0)
<y> is the y origin (y must be greater than or equal to 0)
<w> is the width (x + w must be less than 8.5)
<h> is the height (y + h must be less than 14.0)

/o<x>,<y>,<w>,<h>
Set output window in pixels:
<x> is the x origin (x must be greater than or equal to 0)
<y> is the y origin (y must be greater than or equal to 0)
<w> is the width (w must be greater than 0)
<h> is the height (h must be greater than 0)

/compress
Compress output file.


Arguments

<cFILENAME.TGA>
The Targa filename to save the scanned image to.


Remarks

This is a scanner driver for the UMAX SC-630 color scanner. It requires the 
proprietary UMAX SCSI interface card correctly configured and installed and 
the Umax device driver is in the CONFIG.SYS. Passing parameter string 
correctly will produce a high quality Targa 16 or Targa 24 output file.


Example

To scan a 8" wide x 6" tall area at the upper left origin of the UC-630, 
with a brightness value of 20, a contrast value of 25, with maximum quality 
slow scan speed, to a 24-bit targa file, TEST2.TGA, 800x600:

UMAXSCAN /COLOR24 /B20 /C25 /T2 /W0,0,8,6 /O0,0,800,600 T2.TGA
