SELECTING THE AREA OF THE ITEM YOU WANT TO SCAN
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, drag 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 Visioneer 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. Drag the selection rectangle to position it over the area you want to
scan.
5. To change the dimensions of the rectangle, click the rectangle, and
then drag the borders of the rectangle to resize it. This effectively
allows you to crop the item. The dimensions of the selected area
appear in the Scan Configuration settings.
You can also type length and width dimensions directly into the
boxes that show the dimensions of the selection area. Use this
process to produce a precise scan area size.
6. To reposition the rectangle, click and hold the left mouse button
and drag to the location desired.
7. Scan the item by left clicking the button on the scan manager.
