Adding, editing, and deleting scan area masks

Shannon Mitchell Updated by Shannon Mitchell

Once the scan preview appears, if the suggested scan area mask is insufficient, users can use the scan area mask features to edit the proposed area or create up to four masks manually. Depending on the scanner used, different scan area features may be available. For more information, view Scan area masks for Grundium scanners.
