Canon 800 Trimming/Border settings, Removing the entire border, Leaving a margin around the image

Using the Scanner

Trimming/Border settings

When an image on negative film is scanned and projected onto the scanner screen, the area outside the image appears as a black border around the image. The Automatic Border Removal function can be used to remove this black border around the scanned image.

Trimming allows you to restrict scanning to a specified area of the image. Border removal allows you either to remove all the black border around the image or to leave a narrow black margin around the image. However, if “Posi- tive” ( ) is selected as the film polarity (➜ P.23), the border removal function does not operate.

●Trimming

Press the Border key on the operation panel until the ( ) indicator lights and then scan the image. To specify the area to be trimmed, move the tabs along the bottom edge and right side of the screen so that they are aligned with the lines on the screen.

IMPORTANT

Adjust or change the trimming area before scanning begins or while scanning is paused.

●Removing the entire border

Press the Border key on the operation panel until the () indicator lights and then scan the image.

●Leaving a margin around the image

Press the Trimming/Border key on the scanner’s front panel to switch on the () lamp and scan the image. The size of the margin is set either from the application soft- ware or by storing the setting in a function key (➜ P.31).

Notes

•If multiple images are displayed on the screen at the same time, the wrong image may be scanned.

•This function can only operate if there is a clear area of at least 5 mm around the image.
