Epson WF7710 supports A3 scanning, and this may be the cause of the
problem.

scanimage --help gives
Options specific to device `escl:https://192.168.1.73:443':
  Scan mode:
    --mode Lineart|Gray|Color [Lineart]
        Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color).
    --resolution 100|200|300|600|1200dpi [100]
        Sets the resolution of the scanned image.
    --source Flatbed|ADF|ADF Duplex [Flatbed]
        Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder).
  Geometry:
    -l 0..289.052mm [0]
        Top-left x position of scan area.
    -t 0..423.672mm [0]
        Top-left y position of scan area.
    -x 8.12799..297.18mm [297.18]
        Width of scan-area.
    -y 8.12799..431.8mm [431.8]
        Height of scan-area.
  Enhancement:
    --preview[=(yes|no)] [no]
        Request a preview-quality scan.
    --preview-in-gray[=(yes|no)] [no]
        Request that all previews are done in monochrome mode.  On a
        three-pass scanner this cuts down the number of passes to one and on a
        one-pass scanner, it reduces the memory requirements and scan-time of
        the preview.
    --brightness -100..100 (in steps of 1) [inactive]
        Controls the brightness of the acquired image.
    --contrast -100..100 (in steps of 1) [inactive]
        Controls the contrast of the acquired image.
    --sharpen 0..3 (in steps of 1) [inactive]
        Set sharpen value.
    --threshold 0..255 (in steps of 1) [-1226889112]
        Select minimum-brightness to get a white point

scanimage -d 'escl:https://192.168.1.73:443' --format=pdf --mode Gray --source 
ADF    gives an A3 scan
scanimage -d 'escl:https://192.168.1.73:443' --format=pdf --mode Gray --source 
ADF -x 277 -y 297 gives an A4 scan, with left-offset again
scanimage -d 'escl:https://192.168.1.73:443' --format=pdf --mode Gray --source 
ADF -l 0 -x 277 -y 297 does the same
BUT
scanimage -d 'escl:https://192.168.1.73:443' --format=pdf --mode Gray --source 
ADF -l 5 -x 277 -y 297 gives:
scanimage: rounded value of tl-x from 5 to 5
scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 215 to 215
scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 297 to 297
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
and the same is true for any value other than 0 given to "-l N".
The scan is physically started before the segmentation fault occurs.

Giving "-l N" seems to be the way to fix the left-offset, and
autochanges br-x. A value of about 67 would seem right - but we can't
get to that point.

I have got the Epson proprietary linux scan utility to work; and (apart
from single-sided scan seeming to scan only the reverse side of the
paper!) it scans correctly.

Title:
  scanning from ADF on Epson WF-7710 has page offset

Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Scanning from the ADF on my Epson WF-7710 produces images with a left margin 
about 4 times as large as when scanning from the flatbed, so that the 
right-hand side of the page is lost.  
  Top and bottom margins are handled correctly.
  The scanner is connected via the local ethernet.

  Memory tells me that it used to scan ok from the ADF, and that the
  problem may have started sometime in 2023 - but memory is terribly
  fallible ...

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
  Release:      22.04

  Synaptic gives the package version as 42.0-1, the latest available.
