Adjusting Cropping Frames in the Image Stitch Window
"Cropping" is the act of selecting the area you want to keep in an image and discarding the
rest when scanning it.
In the Image Stitch window, you can specify a cropping frame on the image displayed in
the Preview area.
Note
Refer to Help of Image Capture for how to adjust the cropping frames (selection boxes)
in the screen displayed by clicking Driver in the IJ Scan Utility main screen.
Initial Cropping Frame
No cropping frame is specified. When you select the Adjust cropping frames checkbox,
an active cropping frame is automatically specified around the image in the Preview area.
You can drag the cropping frame to specify the area.
When you perform a scan, the image in the area specified with the cropping frame will be
scanned.
Adjusting a Cropping Frame
The cursor will change into
(Arrow) when it is positioned over a cropping frame.
Click and drag the mouse to expand or contract the cropping frame.
The cursor will change into
(Hand) when it is positioned within a cropping frame. Click
and drag the mouse to move the entire cropping frame.
Deleting Cropping Frames
To delete the cropping frame, deselect the Adjust cropping frames checkbox.
106
Resolution
The data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about
brightness and color. 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 Resolution on the
Settings dialog.
(Scanning from a Computer) tab of the
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, the processing 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.
108
Data Formats
You can select a data format when saving scanned images. You should specify the most
suitable data format according to how you want to use the image on which application.
Available data formats vary by application and operating system (Windows or Mac OS).
See below for the characteristics of each image data format.
PNG (Standard File Extension: .png)
A data format often used on websites.
PNG is suitable for editing saved images.
JPEG (Standard File Extension: .jpg)
A data format often used on websites and for digital camera images.
JPEG features high compression rates. JPEG images slightly degrade every time they are
saved, and cannot be returned to their original state.
JPEG is not available for black and white images.
TIFF (Standard File Extension: .tif)
A data format featuring a relatively high compatibility between various computers and
applications.
TIFF is suitable for editing saved images.
Note
Some TIFF files are incompatible.
IJ Scan Utility supports the following TIFF file formats.
Uncompressed, black and white binary
Uncompressed, RGB (8 bits per channel)
Uncompressed, Grayscale
PDF (Standard File Extension: .pdf)
A data format for electronic documents, developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
It can be used on various computers and operating systems, and fonts can be embedded
as well; therefore, people in different environments can exchange the files without being
aware of the differences.
109
Placing Items (When Scanning from a Computer)
Learn how to place items on the platen of your scanner or printer. Place items correctly
according to the type of item to be scanned. Otherwise, items may not be scanned
correctly.
Important
Do not place objects on the document cover. When you open the document cover, the
objects may fall into your scanner or printer, resulting in malfunction.
Close the document cover when scanning.
Placing Items
Place items as described below to scan by detecting the item type or size automatically.
Important
When scanning by specifying the paper size in IJ Scan Utility or the scanner driver,
align an upper corner of the item with the corner at the arrow (alignment mark) of the
platen.
Photos that have been cut to various shapes and items smaller than 1.2 inches (3 cm)
square cannot be cropped accurately when scanning.
Reflective disc labels may not be scanned as expected.
When scanned using the scanner driver, the response may differ. In that case, adjust
the cropping frame (selection box) manually.
For Photos, Postcards, Business Cards, or
BD/DVD/CD
For Magazines, Newspapers, or Documents
Placing a Single Item
Place the item face-down on the platen, with
0.4 inch (1 cm) or more space between the
edges (diagonally striped area) of the platen
and the item. Portions placed on the
diagonally striped area cannot be scanned.

Important
Important
Large items (such as A4 size photos) that
cannot be placed away from the edges/
arrow (alignment mark) of the platen may
be saved as PDF files. To save in a format
other than PDF, scan by specifying the
data format.
Placing Multiple Items
Allow 0.4 inch (1 cm) or more space between
the edges (diagonally striped area) of the
platen and items, and between items. Portions
placed on the diagonally striped area cannot
be scanned.
more than 0.4 inch (1 cm)
Note
In IJ Scan Utility, you can place up to 12
items.
You can place up to four items when the
Compress scanned images upon
transfer checkbox is selected in the
Settings dialog of IJ Scan Utility.
111
Refer to "Loading Originals" for your
model from Home of the Online
Manual for details on the portions in
which items cannot be scanned.
Positions of slanted items (10 degrees or
less) are corrected automatically.
