Advanced Mode-Specifying the Parameters of a Scan

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.

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
Click (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 of the edge of the selected frame or enter the desired parameter values for (Width) and (Height) in [Input Settings]. 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].

Creating Multiple Cropping Frames
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].
