Specifying the Parameters of a Scan

Return to Overview


You can create scan areas (cropping areas) for images shown in the preview area. When you click [Scan], only the cropped area will be scanned.


Remark
  • Crop feature is invalid when [ADF (2-sided)] is selected in [Original Input Method] on the [Advanced Mode] tab sheet.

  • Selecting the Cropping Area Automatically

After previewing, click (Auto Crop) on the toolbar. Clicking this button enables you to gradually crop off the image outside the borders detected in the preview image.

  • Creating a Cropping Frame

Select (Crop) on the toolbar, click on the preview image and drag over the area you wish to select. To make further adjustments, drag the corner or edge of the selected frame or enter the desired parameter values for (Width) and (Height) in [Input Settings] on the [Advanced Mode] tab sheet. To move the cropping frame you have selected, click inside the cropping frame and drag.

  • To maintain the current width and height proportion of the image, click in [Input Settings].
  • When using the ADF, creating a new cropping frame will erase an existing one.
  • Creating Multiple Cropping Frames (Only when Using the Platen Glass)

You can create another cropping frame even if there is already one in the preview area. Click and drag the mouse cursor outside the existing cropping frame to create a new cropping frame in that area.

You can create up to 10 cropping areas. By clicking [Scan] once, all the cropped areas will be scanned. (Scanning will continue until all selected areas have been scanned.)

The most recently created cropping frame will become the focal point. To make adjustments to previously created cropping frames, select the frame or frames by clicking on them.

  • Deleting Cropping Frames

If you want to remove cropping frames, select the frame or frames and do one of the following:

  • Click [Delete] on the keyboard.
  • Click (Remove Cropping Frame) on the toolbar.
  • Right-click on the cropped area and select [Delete].
  • Hold down [Ctrl] on the keyboard, right-click outside the cropped area, and select [Delete].
