I agree also. After supporting commercial scanning software for a year<br>
(all that my sanity would stand for) I can tell you from my limited<br>
experience that setting a default scan area smaller than the total<br>
possible area would be a support nightmare. The only glimmer of hope is<br>
that the average Unix user is *much* smarter than the average Windows user<br>
and would figure it out on their own.<br>
