3. Main Remaining Problems and Restrictions

1) The image margin width achieved is currently a function of the scan resolution chosen.

When Scan is executed with low resolution such as 150dpi in the GP215/200 series, the
margin on the image is enlarged relative to the same image scanned at a higher resolution.
The two examples here show the relation between scan resolution and margin width.

Scan Resolution Margin Width

150dpi 10mm
600dpi 2.5mm

[Countermeasure]
GP Firmware limitation. This problem will be addressed by a future update to GP215 IP
firmware (Ver. 54.xx or higher). The margin will be set to 2.5mm independent of the choosen
scan resolution.
