Scan Frame tool

Usage
To create a scan frame
or multiple scan frames
in the preview image.
26 Microtek Scanner User's Guide (PC version)
The Scan Frame tool lets you create or modify a scan frame, which is the
active area on which controls and commands can be applied. You can have
multiple scan frames, but only one scan frame can be current at a time; the
current scan frame is indicated by a marquee (marching ants). If you have
multiple scan frames, the current scan frames can be more easily distin-
guished if you turn on the Smoked Glass Background command (in the
Preferences menu).
