IMPORTANT
To use Area Designation (Framing) with the Image Repeat mode, first specify the Image Repeat mode, and then designate the desired area. Only one area can be designated. The designated area is too small, the color original may be scanned in the Black & White mode even if the color mode is set to [Auto (Color/B&W)].

NOTE
You can use the numeric keys to modify areas designated with the edit pen. If you designate an area using the edit pen, the output image may not reflect the designated area precisely. To designate an area precisely, enter the values using the numeric keys.
