Scan Regions

You can use the preview window to create custom scan regions for the scanner to use for scanning. For example, if you want to scan only a specific area of the image, you can move and resize a scan region to focus only on the area you want to scan. The final image will be only the size of the region you set.

Important: do not change the page size for the scanned image after you create custom regions. When you have set a custom region in the preview window, the page size field will display “user defined” indicating you have specified one or more custom regions for scanning. Changing the page size after you create a custom region discards the custom regions and sets a single scan region to the size you selected in the page size list.

Creating custom scan regions:

1.Select the preset you want to use for scanning.

2.In the main interface click Preview to open the preview window.

If no previous custom scan regions have been created for the preset you selected, the preview window will have a single scan region that is the page size for the current preset. This region will be labeled number 1 and be displayed as an outline in the preview area.

3.Place an item in the scanner and then click Get preview.

4.The scanner scans and displays a sample image.

5.Move or resize region 1 until the sample image area you want is within the scan region.

Resize the region by clicking on one edge of the region outline and dragging the mouse. Move the region by clicking in the region then dragging the mouse. Please refer to Move, Resize, or Delete Regions for detailed instructions.
