Canon MF269dw User Manual page 536

What if you're scanning a whole page of a newspaper but
all you're really interested in is a headline and a photo?
Use ScanGear MF. You can select what you want from a
preview, and then have the scanner disregard the rest.
Otherwise you'll have to use an editing program to crop
out everything you don't need.
Using ScanGear MF(P. 263)
● Using your product to scan, print or otherwise
reproduce certain documents, and the use of
such images as scanned, printed or otherwise
reproduced by your product, may be
prohibited by law and may result in criminal
and/or civil liability. If you are uncertain about
the legality of using your product to scan,
print or otherwise reproduce any particular
document, and/or of the use of the images
scanned, printed or otherwise reproduced,
you should consult in advance with your legal
advisor for guidance.
Add Images to a Work in Progress
Some applications work with the machine to let you easily import scanned
images directly into documents you're working on. This way you can skip the
steps of opening a separate application just for receiving the scanned images
and then exporting them to the application you're really using.
Scanning Documents from an Application(P. 261)
Appendix
Searching of text in a PDF can be done with a
"searchable PDF." By scanning an original with both
text and images, text portions are converted by OCR
into text data. In addition to being able to search for
text information, you can also copy required portions
into an Excel spreadsheet or Word document in
Microsoft Office. Eliminate the need to type in
customer data, addresses, etc. from scratch.
