Scanning a portion of an image

You can scan certain portions of an image or a document using the cropping function of the Scan dialog. This option is good for scanning logos, parts of a magazine page, or sections of a photo.

  1. Make sure the printer is connected to a computer, and both the printer and the computer are on.

  2. Load an original document or image facedown on the scanner glass.

  3. From the Finder desktop, double-click the Lexmark 3500-4500 Series folder.

  4. Double-click the Lexmark 3500-4500 Series Center icon.

  5. Click Preview/Edit.

  6. Click inside the document or image in the preview area.

  7. Drag the nodes on the crop area to select the part of the image that you want to scan.

    Note: Drag the nodes on the dashed border to expand or minimize the crop area.

  8. Click the preview icon.

  9. Click the scan icon. Only the designated cropped area is saved or sent to an application.
