Topic: How to adjust the scan image size to match the input card size

The size of the scanned image is adjusted by selecting the appropriate option in the application program which you use to scan the card. If the scanned image is too large with black bands around the image, you should enable the "AutoCrop" feature which should usually cut off the dark regions around the image.
1. BizCardReader application program
If you are using the BizCardReader 6.x application program which stores and organizes business cards, the image/card size is selected by clicking in the application menu:  Settings --> Scanner --> Card Size. Enable the AutoCrop feature if desired.
 
2. ScanToFile application program
Please refer to the ScanToFile guide on how to scan and select the image/card size.
 
3. Other TWAIN compliant application program
If you are using a third party application program (such as medical or other client management software) to scan licenses or other cards, the image/card size to is normally set by selecting the appropriate option from within the application which you are using. To do this, you should do the following.

(a) Consult the third-party application manual how how to set the image/card size parameter. This may involve enabling the
scanner's TWAIN "User Interface" (UI) option as you begin the scan procedure. When the scanner Twain UI is enabled, the UI will pop up when you perform a scan. You can then select the image/card size from the options in the UI. Normally, you should enable the "Crop Image" option in the UI to allow the system to automatically crop the scanned image to size.

For details on how to enable the Twain UI or set the image size, you should consult your third-party application manual or application support provider. 

(b) As an alternative to the preferred method described in 3(a) above, you can try the following to set the scan size.
i. First, select the desired scan image/card size by using the ScanToFile application program to scan an image of the card.
ii. Then use the third party application to scan in the card as you normally would.
