SELECTING THE AREA OF THE ITEM YOU WANT TO SCAN (6000B)

This section only applies to the PaperPort 6000B scanner.

When you preview an item to scan, the selection rectangle around the image indicates the scan area. However, you may want to select only a certain area of an item to scan. Selecting an appropriate scan area can result in a faster scan and a smaller file size.

To select the area you want to scan, you can choose a predefined scan area from the drop-down size list, or manually select an area.

For example, if you have a photo that is letter size, but you want to scan only an area approximately 5 x 7 inches, you can use the 5 x 7 scan area from the drop-down list to set these dimensions for you.

The box next to the drop-down list shows the currently selected scan area. You can also manually select the area that is scanned by dragging the borders of the selection rectangle surrounding the preview image to reduce or enlarge the area.

To select the area you want to scan:

1.Click the Twain icon on the Command Bar, or choose Acquire from the File menu. The PaperPort Scan Manager dialog box appears.

2.Click the Preview button. An image of the scanned item appears in the Preview area. A selection rectangle shows the current scan area.

3.(optional) In the Scan Configuration settings, select the units of measure you want to use for the scan area. You can select either inches, centimeters, or pixels.

4.(optional) If you want the scan area to be one of the predefined sizes, choose one of the predefined scan areas from the drop-down list, such as A4 or Business Card. The selection rectangle indicates the measurement of the selected scan area. For example, if you choose the Letter option, the rectangle’s size is 8.5 x 11 inches.

5.Drag the selection rectangle to position it over the area you want to scan.
