Cropping values 
Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being 
scanned. You can define the cropping area by the x and y offset values, 
width and length. All cropping options can be used with color and 
bi-tonal images and are front/rear and dual stream independent. Only 
one cropping option can be assigned per image. 
Cropping 
 select one of the following options: 
• 
Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different 
document sizes based upon the edges of the image. Use this option 
for batches of mixed-size documents. 
• 
Aggressive: selecting this option will eliminate any residual black 
border on any image edges. In order to achieve this, there is a 
possibility that a small amount of image data may be lost.  
• 
Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents) 
allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. If you select this 
option, enter the x and y offset values, width and length. You can 
enter the desired values in the fields or use the arrow keys to define 
the desired area. The Display window will show image placement as 
you change the values.  
• 
Relative to Document (zone processing): (used for batches of 
same-size documents) 
 some applications have a requirement to 
store part of an image in color/grayscale and the rest of the image in 
bi-tonal format (this saves storage space by not storing the entire 
image in color/grayscale). Zone processing is a floating fixed crop 
window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a 
document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be 
delivered in either color/grayscale or bi-tonal format (a separate 
window for both bi-tonal and color/grayscale may be defined). 
Different parameters may be selected for both the front and rear of 
the image. 
This option may be used in conjunction with auto cropping where a 
separate color/grayscale or bi-tonal area to be saved is desired. It is 
very useful in applications where a photograph, signature, 
embossment or seal appears in a consistent area for an application 
(you may want that small area in color/grayscale and the rest in 
bi-tonal). 
Enter the x and y offset which defines the upper left corner of the 
zone relative to the upper left corner of the desired document. Enter 
the length and width of the zone to be captured.
