The Toolbar
Buttons on the toolbar help you to perform important tasks, like
cropping images, moving images, zooming, and so on.
Crop Button
Click the Crop button and drag the pointer in any direction to
draw a rectangle around the area you want to select for scanning.
This reduces the time it takes to scan an image because you are
pre-scanning or scanning only the necessary section of the
original, not the whole area. To un-crop the image, simply click
outside the cropped area.  You can drag the selected area to
another location or drag the handles on the borders to enlarge or
reduce the area.
Move Image Button
Use the Move Image button to scroll the image up/down or left/
right when the previewed image has been enlarged with the
Zoom Tool button and is too large to be viewed all at once.  Click
the Move Image button and drag the image with the hand image
pointer.
The Move Image button is not available when the
previewed image has not been enlarged and is
displayed entirely in the Preview Area.
