How to Adjust the Focus on a Plustek Scanner
How well your Plustek scanner is focused determines whether its scans are keepers or do-overs. When the same documents are scanned repeatedly, production stalls and deadlines may be missed. Increase the resolution setting early on to adjust the focus, and you'll likely stay right on track and quickly reach your scanning goals.
