Well, it is indeed far better with the bottom not cut off. I used scanimage --mode Gray --source "ADF Duplex" --resolution 200 --batch-count=2 --batch=s%d.pnm --page-height 300 --page-width 240 -x 240 -y 300 --rollerdeskew=yes --swcrop=yes --swdeskew=no output: scanimage: rounded value of page-height from 300 to 299.999 scanimage: rounded value of page-width from 240 to 216.042 scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 240 to 216.042 scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 300 to 299.999 Scanning 2 pages, incrementing by 1, numbering from 1 Scanning page 1 Scanned page 1. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 2 Scanned page 2. (scanner status = 5) to generate the images attached. They are scaled down by factor 4 x 4, means:
