Adjusting Cropping Frames (Scangear) - Canon MX520 series Online Manual

Adjusting Cropping Frames (ScanGear)

"Cropping" is the act of selecting the area you want to keep in an image and discarding the rest when
scanning it.
On the Basic Mode tab and Advanced Mode tab, you can specify cropping frames (scan areas) on the
image(s) displayed in the Preview area of the screen.
When you perform a scan, each area specified with a cropping frame will be scanned as a separate image.
Note
In whole image view, you can specify multiple cropping frames on the preview image.
See "Adjusting Cropping Frames (IJ Scan Utility)" for your model from Home of the Online Manual for
