Solution
You can create scan areas (cropping areas) on the images shown in the preview area. When you click the [Scan] button, only the areas selected as the cropping area will be scanned and passed to the application program.
You can create two or more multiple cropping areas. When you click the [Scan] button, you can scan all of the cropping areas you created at once. (The scanner makes a number of passes corresponding to the number of cropping areas created.)
IMPORTANT
- The maximum numbers of cropping frames you can create are 10.
- You cannot create additional cropping frames when you have chosen the multi-crop function with the [Multi-Crop] button with ScanGear in the Advanced Mode.
