Hello Dan, I may be able to help.
I have an Epson scanner & the software I use (I'm at work just now, doing an evening shift & can't remember the soft wares name) has a preview & a scan button.
Pressing the preview gives just that & then using the mouse or graphics pen as I have I then click & drag an 'ant line' (moving dashes) around the image which crops out the surrounding white & then I press scan & it just scans the image.
Then it opens a dialogue window asking what format to save in & to where etc.
o here to download the software,

Sorry if this reply is too late but I only joined today, 9th April 2014.
I'll post back later with the software name but it definitely is an Epson programme so if your scanner is an Epson it should work. Simon...

Glad I was able to help Dan, I have a varied background regarding computer related stuff.
I'm not a specialist in anyone area but have some insight to this & that.
20 years ago I use to put PC's together from scratch & one of my old scanners had the SCSI ID connections which had to be told what ID it had & had to be turned on before the PC otherwise it wouldn't be recognised.
