I am scanning some paper pages using the document feeder of Xerox WorkCentre 7830.
The scanner didn't scan the entire paper pages, and skip some part near the borders of the paper pages.
For example, here is a page from my scanned pdf file. the handwrittend "Regular surface" on the right is cut off by the scanner to be *Regular su".
However in the scanner control panel, I have specified the custom scan area to be slighly larger than the paper page size.This is also indicated by the white margins in the pdf page.
I have also choose 0.0 for Edge Erase option.
So how can I make the scanner scan the entire paper pages, and do not skip anything near the borders of the paper pages?
Thanks.

It looks like you are bumping up against the size of the scan area. There are a number of workarounds:
Instead of tightening the paper guides against the page to center it, open them up so they are maybe 3/4" wider than the sheet (allow extra width of a little more than twice as much as what is being cut off in the scan). Feed the page tight against the guide on the side of the page that is a copy of the binding. That will move the wasted image of the page binding out of the scan area and move the cut-off portion into range. The page guides are shown in the red rectangles:
Trim the original to remove as much of the image of the binding as is being cut off by the scan on the other side. Feed the trimmed side of the page tight against the guide (leave the guides set to a normal page width). This will shift the page over to bring the portion previously unscanned into the scan area.
Use the flatbed instead of the document feeder. Position the page so that the image of the binding is what is out of view and all of what you want is in the scanned area.
Use a small reduction setting. A value of around 91% to 93% is typically used for a "fit entire page" feature, but you can calculate the percentage based on the width of what is actually being scanned vs. the actual width of the content.
