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.

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.

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.

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.
