Width — the width of the scanning area. 
Length — the length of the scanning area. If Overscan is not selected, 
the scanner will not continue capturing beyond the trail edge of the 
document. For example, if you setup the scanner for 8 ½” x 11” 
portrait-fed documents, and you scan an 8 ½ x 4” document, the 
scanner will return an 8 ½ x 4” scanned area. 
Center Frame 
 when using fixed cropping, automatically calculates 
the X-offset for center-fed feeding based upon document size selected. 
This option is not available if you use auto cropping. 
Rotate Frame 
 when using fixed cropping, automatically calculates 
the offset values based upon feed orientation of the document size 
selected (landscape vs. portrait). This option is not available if you use 
auto cropping. 
Overscan values 
Overscan allows you to add a specified value (inches/mm) before and 
after the edge of the image. Overscan values can be applied to the Top 
and Bottom of an image and/or the left and right of an image. Overscan 
is used in applications where automatic feeding of highly skewed 
documents is likely. Overscan reduces the possibility of corner clipping 
on skewed images.  
To set Overscan values, select where you want to apply Overscan 
values: Top/Bottom, Left/RightAll Sides then select the amount 
(inches or mm) you want applied. Select a value within the range of 0 
to .375 inches None is the default. Combined Overscan and Length 
values cannot exceed 30 inches for all resolutions except 400 dpi 
bi-tonal which cannot exceed 26 inches. 
Additional paper selections  In addition to cropping and overscan values that can be applied using 
the Paper tab, the following options are available: 
Preset Front/Rear Size 
 the default paper size is set when a scanner 
is first selected. You can choose a different paper size using the 
drop-down list box. 
Units 
 defines the primary measurement system. Inches, 
Centimeters, Picas, Points, 20
th
 of Points, and Pixels are available.
