(The "top" should be closest to you.)
In Photoshop, select "File" then "Import" then "WIA 1394_USB2 (FireWire)."
When "Scan using 1394_USB2 Scanner (FireWire)" image appears, select the desired options from
the following:

Grayscale Picture
Black and white picture or text
Custom Settings

Left Click on the "Preview" box at the bottom of the image area.
Wait until the image is scanned and the preview image appears.
Crop the image to be scanned by dragging the red corner markers to frame the image to be scanned
and saved. If the preview shows that the item is not properly aligned on the scanning bed, reposition
the item, then click on "preview" again. Repeat as necessary.

Enlarge the scanned image to examine the scan:
Is it sharp?

Does it look like an excellent scan?
Use photoshop tools such as clone stamp and filters to remove dust spots or other imperfections in
the scan that do not represent the original.

appearance of a "pink" line on the left hand side of the scan)
