I have an Epson Stylus SX438W printer / scanner, and when I try to use it as a scanner it has this bizarre automatic "feature" which causes it to detect the white background of whatever I'm scanning, and decide that I only want to scan the individual elements, which it does badly. The net result is that instead of 1 scan of the whole page, I get 4 or 5 scans of parts of the page.
Anyone know how to stop this behaviour? There are various options in the menus of the Epson Scanner software, but the ones that sound relevant are greyed out so I can't access them (e.g., "Auto area segmentation" and "Trimming", both of which are set to "on" with no obvious way to turn them off).
