Cropping frames are set according to the document size (auto crop) by default.
Click and drag the mouse cursor in a space outside the boundaries of the existing cropping frame to create a new cropping frame in that area. The new cropping frame will be the Focus Cropping Frame, and the first cropping frame will be the Unselected Cropping Frame. When you have created two or more cropping frames, you can adjust each cropping frame individually.
You can select multiple cropping frames by clicking them while pressing the Ctrl key.
If you select two or more cropping frames and change the settings on the tab at the right of ScanGear, the settings will be applied to all the selected cropping frames.
When you create a new cropping frame, it retains the settings of the latest cropping frame.

The maximum numbers of cropping frames are as follows:
- When document type is paper or photograph: 10 frames.
