The Y offset can be from 0 inches to 10 inches.
For the Xerox 7356, and Vidar scanners, the offset is from the right edge of the 
scanner, not the right edge of the paper. Refer to the operator manual for your 
scanner.
Setting the Image Data Buffer Size
You can adjust the data buffer size for the scanner by allocating a certain amount 
of system memory to the scanner. The amount of memory allocated affects the 
height of the scans that can be held in the buffer while scanning. Too little memory 
will slow down the system and your image might not scan fully. The Scanner 
Interface will not allow you to allocate more memory than is available in your 
system. If you try to set the amount of memory too high, this generates an error 
message.
Another drain on memory is enlarging or reducing documents while scanning 
them. If you are planning to resize a document, scan it at 100% and then use the 
Job Editor to scale it. This is a much faster, more efficient way to size images 
before printing.
1.
Click the General Configuration tab.
2.
In the Scanner Setup Parameters box, enter the amount of memory to use 
in the Image data buffer size field (the default is 35 MB).
If the system is printing and scanning at the same time and too much memory is 
allocated to the scanner interface, the printing speed and/or the operation of 
 
Windows NT could be affected.
