Jake and Scott,
My experiments suggest the same. It is a pretty useless feature when it
comes to trying to save some time. It appears that Openbook does not
control the Twain or the WIA interface in order to perform this action but
performs the needed action after the image has been acquired. That is no
use in this case.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OpenBook margins
Hi all,
In doing some experimenting with OpenBook's margin feature I found that
the recognized text does seem to get cut off when specifying margins. This
however did not stop the scanner from traveling the length of the full
scanner bed.
I talked to Freedom Scientific tech support this afternoon (20 mins of
waiting on my cell phone cause its not an 800 number) and confirmed that,
indeed that feature will scan the entire bed and save the full image, it
will use the margins only when determining the amount to recognize.
Pretty useless feature in that case...I guess it could still have a bit of
use, but no where near as much.
The tech support guy's suggestion was to rrite to
suggestions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx requesting the change. I have written to
that address before and never gotten a response, so if you do write, don't
expect to hear anything back.
HTH,
Jake
