Auto-Crop Feature

The scanner has a built-in cropping function that automatically detects and crops dark edges
and dark areas against the cropping baseline background during the scan process. To
prevent poor cropping, align the original straight against the left edge of the feeder slot
and ensure there is adequate space behind the feeder for the originals to completely feed
through. Scanning on a flat and uncluttered surface is recommended. The following example
illustrates a 4"x6" original photo scanned with auto-crop and without auto-crop:
Original:
Scanned images:
 Depending on the shape and size of your original, you may want to perform additional
manual cropping on the scanned image (using the included graphics editing software or
your own) to achieve your desired final image.
 If the original is fed slightly crooked, the original is only cropped a pre-defined maximum
amount, as shown in the following illustration:
 When scanning darker originals, over-cropping may occur (see example below of night
sky photo). Please insert the original in a different direction (orientation) and try again.
