• If you scan originals
using functions other
than the network
TWAIN scanner
function, certain paper
size and resolution
settings may produce
scanned images
that are
larger than the specified
size because of margins
being added to the
sides.
• If the File Format
Converter (optional) is
installed, the margins
may become wider.
Scanning at a higher resolution may
reduce the margins.
