Crop Box 

Once the microfilm loads, the ScanPro 3000 software displays the 
film in a green box - the Crop Box. All activity happens within the 
Crop Box. 
 
The Crop Box can be reduced in size, saved to USB drive, printed, 
or adjusted for picture clarity. 
 
To change the size of the green Crop Box, anywhere on the green 
outline click and drag the cursor towards the middle of the screen 
to reduce the size. 
 

 
 
To print or save only part of the page, drag the box to surround the 
article wanted. 
 

Remember, anything inside the green box can be printed and/or 
saved to a USB drive. 

 
 

 
At the four corners and the midpoints of the Crop Box are drag points. Right-click on a corner 
drag point, pull the box inward and the corner is pulled inward causing an irregular shaped Crop 
Box. This is useful if the newspaper article wraps around a photo or another article. To restore 
the Crop Box to the original shape, click and pull the corners outward.  
 

Using the Graphic Buttons  

Not all the Graphic Buttons are covered in this manual. See the attached Quick Start for 
information on all the Graphic Buttons. As different tabs (Home, Adjust, File or Setup) are 
selected different Graphic Buttons appear. Each tab has its own graphic buttons. 
 

Zoom (Adjust tab) 

There are 3 settings for Zooming the screen. The down arrow reduces size, up arrow 
increases size and the AZ (Auto-Zoom) zooms the appropriate size. 
 

 

Magnifier (Home tab) 

Allows you to move a magnifying glass around the page. Once clicked, a small box 
outlined in blue appears. Click and drag this box to magnify text, pictures, cartoons, 
etc.
