more of: ’file’*,
Scan mode:
-m<mode> or --mode=<mode>. Where <mode> is
’gray’*, ’color’ or ’lineart’.
Scanning resolution:
-r<resolution_in_dpi> or --res=<resolution_in_dpi> or

’mm’*, ’cm’, ’in’, ’px’, or ’pt’ (’mm’ is default).
Scan area:
-a<tlx>,<tly>,<brx>,<bry> or
--area=<tlx>,<tly>,<brx>,<bry>
Coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the scan
area. Units for tlx, tly, brx, and bry are specified by
-t/--units (default is ’mm’). Use only commas between values, no
spaces.
Scan box:

spaces.
Top left x of the scan area:
--tlx=<tlx> Coordinates are relative to the upper left
corner of the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units
(default is ’mm’).
Top left y of the scan area:
--tly=<tly> Coordinates are relative to the upper left
corner of the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units
(default is ’mm’).
Bottom right x of the scan area:
--brx=<brx> Coordinates are relative to the upper left
corner of the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units
(default is ’mm’).
Bottom right y of the scan area:
--bry=<bry> Coordinates are relative to the upper left
corner of the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units
(default is ’mm’).
