NOTE: The steps for selecting the area to scan are slightly different 
for the PaperPort 6000B scanner. If you have a PaperPort 6000B 
scanner please skip this section and see page 17.

By default, the PaperPort software automatically scans an entire item 
placed on the scanner. 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, you can use the predefined scan area 
icons or manually select an area. For example, if you have a photo that is 
letter size, but you want to scan only an area approximately 6 x 8 inches, 
you can use the A5 icon to set these dimensions for you. The Predefined 
scan areas are as follows:

■

Auto—Automatically sets the entire item as the scan area. By default, 
Auto is selected.

■

Card—Scans an area 4 x 2.5 inches (10.2 x 6.4 cm), equivalent to an 
average business card.

■

A5—Scans an area 5.8 x 8.3 inches (14.8 x 21 cm).

■

B5—Scans an area 7.2 x 10.1 inches (18.2 x 25.7 cm).

■

Letter—Scans an area 8.5 x 11 inches (21.6 x 27.9 cm).

■

A4—Scans an area 8.3 x 11.7 inches (21 x 29.7 cm).

If you don’t select an icon, Auto is automatically selected. You can also 
manually select the area that is scanned by dragging the borders 
surrounding the preview image to reduce or enlarge the area.
