You must set page-width and page-height to the size of the paper, then you set -t, -l, -x and -y to the area on that paper you wish to scan. Often the whole thing. The apparent limits on the scan area change based on the paper size:
scanimage --help and scanimage --page-width 308 --page-height 925 will give very different maximums for -x and -y allan On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 10:56 AM, Robert Whelan II <rwhelanii at gmail.com> wrote: > new to mailing lists so I hope I did this correctly. > > I am using scanimage.
