Canon scanner question

[LoveItCards]

I have the lower end model MG2520.

When I scan it automatically is cropping the cards to where some of the side edges are cut off leaving the card less than its original size. What I'd like is to have a little blank space outside the edges so the card can be fully and clearly seen.

Any ideas of how this can be adjusted if possible? I have the manual and will start looking over it next. Thought I'd try to save a little time and see if anyone has insight?

Which software you are using?
I am using ScanGear MP (come with older Canon multi-functioned printer/scanner) via photoshop, I think most of the scanning software should work alike.

In advanced mode, after preview, you should able to select the area you want to scan.

Thanks I taped on a yellow file folder background to the bottom of the scanner flip cover and now it allows me to crop out an image for scanning.
