Hi Allan, I am now looking at the CLI to get this working. Here is my command:
scanimage --format=tiff --source="ADF Front" --page-width=279.406 -- page-height=431.808 > test.tiff scanimage: rounded value of page-width from 279.406 to 279.406 scanimage: rounded value of page-height from 431.808 to 431.808 scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 215.872 to 215.872 scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 279.364 to 279.364 The output is still 8.5" x 11". I must be missing something here.
