Open the MF Scan Utility. Click Detailed Settings (the wrench icon). Under Scan Area , change from "Fixed Size" to "Auto-Detect" . Ensure the paper guides on the scanner glass are snug against the paper.

This allowed offices to create presets for specific workflows—such as "Legal Size, 300 DPI, PDF"—which could be deployed across multiple workstations, ensuring standardization in digital archiving.
