Agree with @DrKay:

(1) It would be nice if the crop used by Simple Scan was from the
setting at "Document > Preferences > Page Size".  (As is, I don't see
that this setting does anything at least with my HP scanner.)

(2) The initial crop position is also an issue.  Simple Scan centers the
crop selected via "Page > Crop" which is the wrong position for my HP
scanner for which the position should be top / left since that is how
the hardware is intended to be used in flatbed mode and that is the
position when the feeder is used.  Perhaps "crop position" should be
another choice at "Document > Preferences".

My daughter just used Simple Scan for the first time and I had to walk
her through these two items.  Sure she would have figured it out on her
own after scanning the same document a few times and exploring the
settings but I don't think that is the point of "Simple Scan".

Title:
  Use page size in settings as default crop

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is my very first bug report. I hope it's useful. ;-)

  There should be no manual cropping after scanning multiple pages with
  ADF.

  Simple-Scan knows the default page size from the settings menu.
  Probably the only additional information needed is the alignment of
  the page related to the whole scan area.

  Perhaps printing and scanning a predefined testpage could automate the
  alignment process.
