Abstract
A scan copying apparatus having a frame-cropping function includes a user interface, a zone-creating unit, an optical scanning module and a processor. In a frame-cropping copy mode, a user inputs, through the user interface, a set of geometric parameters corresponding to a selected scan area of an original. The zone-creating unit, electrically connected to the user interface, receives the set of geometric parameters and creates a cropping frame corresponding to the set of geometric parameters. The optical scanning module scans the selected scan area of the original, according to the cropping frame, to generate a cropping scan signal. The processor, electrically connected to the user interface, the zone-creating unit and the optical scanning module, controls operations of the user interface, the zone-creating unit and the optical scanning module, and processes the cropping scan signal into a cropping print signal.
