562332 2007-06-24 05:26:00 I have a Benq 340U/640U scanner.
It never appears to scan any more than 280mm
instead of 297mm of a A4 document.
The bottom 15mm always missing.
Is this normal, I am using the inbuilt XP program
scanner and camera wizard.

See if its any better.

562334 2007-06-25 02:28:00 Check that the size is set to A4 in the program. it sounds like it is set to letter superoman (6703)
562335 2007-06-25 02:42:00 The only program is Windows scanner and camera wizard which has no poption for page size. Slim (4633)
562336 2007-06-25 02:45:00 Get Irfranview or a standalone program. Speedy Gonzales (78)
562337 2007-06-25 02:53:00 Irfranview is not a scanner program. Slim (4633)
562338 2007-06-25 02:55:00 AFAIK it can load most pic formats and it has also got a scan option.

What are u scanning? Pictures / photos etc or text??

562339 2007-06-25 03:06:00 Irfranview is not a scanner program.

Yes it is. Go to File > Select TWAIN source and away you go (I think... it has been a long time since I last used Irfanview to scan items but I know it can be done).

562340 2007-06-25 03:35:00 Hi all have just downloaded and scanned with Irfranview but still missing bottom 15mm of A4 page. Slim (4633)
562341 2007-06-25 03:41:00 what does the preview show? Have you selected the whole page?

The various programs that you could use to access the scanner should all be using the same drivers to talk to the scanner.
