  • The following types of documents may not be cropped correctly. In that case, adjust the cropping frames (scan areas) in whole image view and scan.

    • Photos that have a whitish background
       
    • Documents printed on white paper, hand-written text, business cards, etc.

  1. Place the document on the Platen, then start ScanGear.
     

  2. Set Select Source according to the document placed on the Platen.



     

  3. Click Preview.

    Thumbnails of the preview images appear in the Preview area. Cropping frames are specified automatically according to the document size.



     

  4. Set the Destination.
     

  5. Set the Output Size according to the purpose.
     

  6. Adjust the cropping frames and set Image corrections as required.


     Note

    • You can correct each image separately. Select the frame you want to correct.
       

    • In thumbnail view, you can only create one cropping frame per image. To create multiple cropping frames in an image, scan in whole image view.
       

  7. Select the images you want to scan.

    Select the checkboxes of the images you want to scan.
     

  8. Click Scan.


Scanning Multiple Documents in Whole Image View

Follow these steps if thumbnails are not displayed correctly when previewed or if you want to scan multiple documents as a single image.


 Note

  • Positions of slanted documents are not corrected in whole image view.
 

  1. After previewing images, click (Thumbnail) on the Toolbar.

    Switch to whole image view.



     Note

    • When the whole image is displayed, the icon changes to (Whole Image).
       

  2. Set the Destination.
     

  3. Set the Output Size according to the purpose.

    Invert aspect ratio will be enabled when Output Size is set to anything but Flexible. Click this button to rotate the cropping frame. Click again to return it to the original orientation.
     

  4. Adjust the cropping frames.

    Adjust the size and position of the cropping frames on the preview image. You can also create two or more cropping frames.

    If an area is not specified, the document will be scanned at the document size (Auto Crop). If an area is specified, only the portion in the specified area will be scanned.
     

  5. Set Image corrections as required.
     

  6. Click Scan.

    Areas framed by broken lines are scanned.


 Note

  • Scanned images are saved in the folder set for Save in on the Save Settings tab of the Preferences dialog. On the Save Settings tab, you can also make advanced save settings.
     
  • A response of ScanGear after scanning can be specified in Status of ScanGear dialog after scanning on the Scan tab of the Preferences dialog.
