#48 Scan entire scannable area or maximum scan manual size option

[Savas]

Hello

Great program, really well done.

The option to scan the entire scannable area would be good. If not, I have a HP ENVY 5544 and the maximum scan size is 216 x 297 mm (8.5 x 11.7 inches). Can this be added or a manual option provided? Currently it's cutting out the edges in some documents and I can't seem to find anything to fix.

Hi Savas,

this looks more like a bug than a new feature! iCopy should in principle scan the maximum area by default. Please attach the log file after you made a test scan. Also, please check what happens if you use the preview option.

Hi Matteo

Sorry for the late reply from me. I updated to the latest version (iCopy1.7.0setup.exe) to make sure I am not confusing anything.

How do I do a log file?

The feature request was to add a way to select the largest "paper size" on the list/options, rather than fixed paper sizes. So basically scan entire scannable area.

However how does the "paper size" list work? Does it only show/filter what your scanner can do? Would it change depending on the printer? If that's the case then yes, if the list isn't coming up with what the scanner/printer can do then it's a bug. Sorry I don't know how it's programmed so I thought it was just sizes you added.

Now after doing some tests, when I save to PDF, even though I selected Index card A4 8.27x11.69in. the PDF file seems to cut out the edges, making it look like standard A4 (just guessing). I know it works when I preview and save the image manually, but when I try to repeat it without previewing the image is cut, when I try to do the same with PDF, still cuts whatever I do.

I think this bug is the same - https://sourceforge.net/p/icopy/bugs/311/

Hi Matteo

I just realized I mixed some things up from what I previously repled to you. I've edited my post.

Either way. Like I said, I am using a HP ENVY 5544 and the maximum scan size is 216 x 297 mm (8.5 x 11.7 inches). iCopy does NOT support this scan size area when selecting to export to PDF. Here's the full list.

p.s. Also I think "center image" (in the image settings) also means auto cropping to where it thinks the paper stops? Turning that off should also ensure the paper doesn't cut anything out?
