Howdy all,

   I've got a Mustek 1200 III SP SCSI flatbed scanner that works just fine.
Xsane works just fine.

   My question, with the command line utility scanimage how do I tell it to
only scan 11.5 inches?

   I've been to the SANE homepage, read the FAQ, etc. and not finding any
answers. The Mustek by default will scan a 12" page, thus creating a 1/2"
black band across the bottom of the page.

   I'm wanting to write a script that will scan pages and auto convert them
into .pdf format for me. I've got all the tools I need, just need to figure
out on the command line to scan only 11.5".

   Any suggestions, ideas, program suggestions are appriciated.

   Richard
