No ! If a user want to scan only a portion of the paper, he must be able
to set scan area, but as long as there is no scan surface, we use paper
size as scan surface. That make sense !

you missed the point here. we are talking about an overscan option, which
causes the scanner to add space all around the scan, such that the back-
ground shows thru.
but i think a person might want to overscan and still have only a
small area of the page (one of the corners?) i think i can work this
out, and still be compatible with the text of our suggestion.
