To see how the cursor lines work, draw a scan frame.
Click on the top left corner of the image as your starting
point, then drag down diagonally to form a scan frame.
As you draw the scan frame, cursor lines will appear to
help you draw the scan frame precisely. When you
release the mouse, your scan frame will be aligned with
the cursor lines.

Overview Setup

This command lets you set the area of the scanner bed to be
overviewed, and provides some overview options as well.
By default, ScanWizard 5 overviews the maximum scan area as
determined by your scanner model's bed size. You can, however,
customize the overview area so that the scanner consistently
overviews only the specific dimensions you have in mind. For
example, if your maximum scan area is 8.5" x 14", you can
customize the overview area so that it consistently overviews, say,
4" x 8" of the bed size.
As a rule of thumb, it is best to use the default maximum settings.
You should change the overview area only if your subsequent
overview is too large to be shown in entirety, or too small for
reliable previewing. A smaller overview area will increase the
overview resolution for clearer image viewing. You may also wish to
change the size of your overview to improve performance.
Generally, a shorter overview time results from the scanner motor
travelling at a lesser distance.
