The available scan area is reported by the scanner. It reports a different area for reflective and for transparent scans. <br><br>The Expression 1600/1680 did support transparency scanning of the full size of the glass - most (all?) other EPSON scanners don't support that. The reason is that it's fairly complicated to come up with a light source that can light a large area homogeneously.

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I am using succesfully the Epson scanner in a
medical environment so mainly using the transaprency adapter to store skull
x-ray.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Up to one year ago I was using the Epson 1680 Pro
scanner with wonderful results.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Due to the fact that this model is no more
available I start using initially the 4990 Photo and actually the Perfection
V700.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The problem that I have is that with the
transparency adapter selected the area available for the scanning process is
limited respect to the flatbed selection: about 6 cm. are lost half on the right
and half on the left side, giving available only the central part of the
scanner.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">With the Epson 1680 Pro the whole are was available
for the flatbed as well as for the transaprency adapter.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Has anyone some solution to this problem or is it
just a slip in the Epson frontend that could be solved?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I appreciate any suggestion</font></div>
