    Specify the length and width of the original.

    Enter the actual width and length in [X1] and [Y1], respectively, and then press the [Sharp] key.

Note

  • For X1 and Y1, you can specify 10 mm (0.4 inches) or larger.

  • To scan an original that is smaller than 10 mm (0.4 inches), configure the settings as though you were scanning part of an original that is larger than 10 mm (0.4 inches). For example: to scan a CD label on the exposure glass, specify X1 - X3 and Y1 - Y3 based on the chart below. For details about scanning procedures, see Scanning part of an original.
