If you inadvertently insert an item into the scanner at an angle, the
Straighten Image option can automatically straighten the image on the

Straighten Image option cannot always straighten the image. When this
option is selected, scanning speed is slower.
When you scan an item that is narrower than 8-

and fill them with white.
