One way to test the image quality of the Neat scanner on your Mac is by performing a test scan in the Apple’s Image Capture application. Scanning into Image Capture will help to determine if the issue with the quality of the image is specific to the Neat software.- First quit out of the Neat software entirely by going to Neat -> Quit Neat. Click on the Spotlight icon (the magnifying glass at the top right of your screen) type Image Capture and hit Enter to launch.
- Once Image Capture launches, select the Neat scanner from the left side of the window. Insert a document into the scanner and click Scan. If the image quality looks satisfactory in Image Capture, but not in Neat, the scanner may need to be calibrated.
If the image quality looks satisfactory in Image Capture, but not in Neat, the scanner may need to be calibrated. Click below for an article on calibrating:
