Setting the Scan Area

Using the image in the preview window, you can define the actual area to be scanned.

Operating Procedures

Position the pointer in the preview window.

The [+] symbol marks the current position of the pointer.

Click and drag the mouse in the direction you want to define on the
image as a frame.

The selected area is enclosed in a dotted frame. The area enclosed in this dotted
frame is the area that will actually be scanned.

• You may drag the frame in any direction.
• Clicking the mouse button outside the selection frame causes the selected area

to be deselected.

• Moving the mouse cursor within the selection frame changes it to an

omni-directional arrow [

]. Dragging the cursor in this state will cause the

selection frame to move without changing its shape.

• Placing the mouse cursor over the dotted line of the selection frame causes the

cursor to change into one of four shapes [

] [

] [

] [

]. Dragging the

selection frame with the mouse cursor changes its shape.

• Double-clicking the mouse button anywhere in the preview window selects the

entire image.

Hint

• To specify small areas with precision, it is convenient to expand the

preview display with the Zoom In button. See Zooming
