Explanation
The OverScan property sets whether or not overscan is used when scanning. Overscan refers to increasing the scanning area to scan beyond that area. By using this property, the scanning area (see RectLeft, RectTop, RectRight, RectBottom, PaperSize properties) can be increased to capture portions of the document outside of this area, for example when the paper is not properly aligned on the document plate.
The OverScan property is enabled with the UiMode property is set to 2 (ikScanNONUI). However, it is not enabled when using digital cameras or scan drivers that do not support overscan. To check whether the scan driver support overscan use the GetCapEnum or GetCapEnumVariant methods.
