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. • Refer to "Adjusting Cropping Frames in the Image Stitch Window" for your model from Home of the Online Manual for how to adjust cropping frames with IJ Scan Utility. Initial Cropping Frame In thumbnail view: No cropping frame is specified. You can drag the mouse over a thumbnail to specify a cropping frame. In whole image view: An active cropping frame is automatically specified around the preview image. You can drag the cropping frame in the Preview area to specify the area. Note • You can change the auto crop setting in the Preferences dialog box. Refer to Cropping Frame on Previewed Images in " Preview Tab" for details. Cropping Frame Types (1) Thick cropping frame (rotating or stationary) Represents a selected cropping frame. Appears only in whole image view. You can select multiple cropping frames by clicking them while pressing the Ctrl key. Output size, image corrections, and other settings on the Basic Mode tab or Advanced Mode tab will be applied to all the selected cropping frames. (2) Thin cropping frame In thumbnail view: Output size, image corrections, and other settings on the Basic Mode tab or Advanced Mode tab will be applied. 551
In whole image view: Represents an unselected cropping frame. The settings on the Basic Mode tab or Advanced Mode tab will not be applied. Adjusting a Cropping Frame The cursor will change into (Arrow) when it is positioned over a cropping frame. If you click and drag the mouse in the direction of the arrow, the cropping frame will expand or contract accordingly. The cursor will change into (Crosshair Arrow) when it is positioned within a cropping frame. Click and drag the mouse to move the entire cropping frame. Note • On the Advanced Mode tab, you can specify the cropping frame size by entering the values into (Width) and (Height) in Input Settings. • You can rotate a cropping frame 90 degrees by clicking (Switch Aspect Ratio). However, (Switch Aspect Ratio) is not available when Output Size is Flexible . Creating Multiple Cropping Frames In thumbnail view: You can only create one cropping frame per image. 552
In whole image view: Click and drag the mouse in a space outside the existing cropping frame to create a new cropping frame in the Preview area. The new cropping frame will be the active cropping frame, and the old cropping frame will be the unselected cropping frame. You can create multiple cropping frames and apply different scan settings to each cropping frame. You can also select multiple cropping frames by clicking them while pressing the Ctrl key. If you select multiple cropping frames and change the settings on a 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. Note • Create up to 12 cropping frames. • Scanning takes longer than usual when multiple cropping frames are selected. Deleting Cropping Frames In thumbnail view: To delete a cropping frame, click an area outside the cropping frame on an image. 553
In whole image view: To delete a cropping frame, select it and click (Remove Cropping Frame) on the Toolbar. Alternatively, press the Delete key. When there are multiple cropping frames, all the selected cropping frames (active cropping frame and selected cropping frames) are deleted simultaneously. 554
General Notes (Scanner Driver)ScanGear (scanner driver) is subject to the following restrictions. Keep these points in mind when using it. Scanner Driver Restrictions• When using the NTFS file system, the TWAIN data source may not be invoked. This is because theTWAIN module cannot be written to the winnt folder for security reasons. Contact the computer's administrator for help. • Some computers (including laptops) connected to the machine may not resume correctly from standby mode. In that case, restart the computer. • Do not connect two or more scanner or multifunction printers with scanner function to the samecomputer simultaneously. If multiple scanning devices are connected, you cannot scan from the operation panel of the machine and also may experience errors while accessing the devices. • Scanning may fail if the computer has resumed from sleep or standby mode. In that case, follow thesesteps and scan again. 1. Turn off the machine. 2. Exit ScanGear, then disconnect the USB cable from the computer and reconnect it. 3. Turn on the machine. • ScanGear cannot be opened in multiple applications at the same time. Within an application,ScanGear cannot be opened for the second time when it is already open. • Be sure to close the ScanGear window before closing the application. • When using a network compatible model by connecting to a network, the machine cannot be accessed from multiple computers at the same time. • When using a network compatible model by connecting to a network, scanning takes longer than usual. • Make sure that you have adequate disk space available when scanning large images at high resolutions. For example, at least 300 MB of free space is required to scan an A4 document at 600 dpi in full-color. • ScanGear and WIA driver cannot be used at the same time. • Do not enter the computer into sleep or hibernate state during scanning. Applications with Restrictions on Use • If you start Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you may not be able to scan using the operation panel of the machine. In that case, restart the computer. • You cannot scan images with Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Scan with other applications such as IJ Scan Utility. • Some applications may not display the TWAIN user interface. In that case, refer to the application's manual and change the settings accordingly. • Some applications do not support continuous scanning of multiple documents. In some cases, only the first scanned image is accepted, or multiple images are scanned as one image. For such applications, do not scan multiple documents from the ADF (Auto Document Feeder). • To import scanned images into Microsoft Office 2000, first save them using IJ Scan Utility, then import the saved files from the Insert menu. • When scanning Platen size images into Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), click Custom Insert in the Insert Picture from Scanner or Camera screen. Otherwise, images may not be scanned correctly. 555
•When scanning images into Microsoft Office 2007/Microsoft Office 2010 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,etc.), use Microsoft Clip Organizer.• Images may not be scanned correctly in some applications. In that case, increase the operating system's virtual memory and retry. • When image size is too large (such as when scanning large images at high resolution), your computer may not respond or the progress bar may remain at 0 % depending on the application. In that case, cancel the action (for example by clicking Cancel on the progress bar), then increase the operating system's virtual memory or reduce the image size/resolution and retry. Alternatively, scan the image via IJ Scan Utility first, then save and import it into the application. 556

ResolutionThe data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness andcolor. The density of these dots is called "resolution", and resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The unit of resolution is dots per inch (dpi). Dpi is the number of dots per inch (2.5 cm). The higher the resolution (value), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (value), the less detail. How to Set the Resolution You can set the resolution in the following screens. IJ Scan Utility: Resolution on the (Scanning from a Computer) tab of the Settings dialog box ScanGear (Scanner Driver): Output Resolution in Output Settings on the Advanced Mode tab Appropriate Resolution Settings Set the resolution according to the use of the scanned image.

Important• If you double the resolution, the data size of the scanned image quadruples. If the file is too large, theprocessing speed will slow down significantly, and you will experience inconvenience such as lack of memory. Set the minimum required resolution according to the use of the image. Note • When you will be printing the scanned image by enlarging it, scan by setting a higher resolution than the recommended one above. 560
