Note

  • Originals are normally rectangular (Illustration of an original) or horizontally long (Illustration of an original). However, the table above uses squares to make original orientation easier to understand. Even if the actual shape of the original is different, the combination of original orientation and the orientation specified on the scanner driver does not change.

  • For details about the Scanner Control dialog box, see the TWAIN driver Help.

  • Depending on the settings, originals of different sizes are scanned differently.
