I bought an Epson V600 scanner just for scanning cards and for the life of me I cannot get it scan the entire image area on the scanner bed. So the bottom or top of the card keeps getting cut off. I just spent 2 hours searching for a solution online but found nothing that worked.

Can anyone help me with this?

on my Canon scanner, I had to turn off a setting that tried to detect borders of the object being scanned, and let it scan full platen then crop manually.

I've tried changing every setting that I could, but the scanner just will not scan the full image area. It does a great job of scanning slabs, which is the main reason I got it, but only being able to scan 3 cards at a time is a huge pain in the a$$.

It's an Epson V600. On the actual scanner there's a "document max" arrow where the images get cut off. I'm guessing this is the way it was designed, Which I think is really, really stupid. My cheap all in one scanner the full area so I can put up to 8 cards on at once without them being cut off. The "high quality" scanner only fits 3 cards. Asinine.

I've had two Epson scanners in the past, one I really liked and one I hated. What made the difference between the two for me was the software that they came with.

I use the CanoScan 9000f Mark 2. It's expensive, but the quality is usually fantastic:
