For a while now, after I fiddled with something it turns out I shouldn't have fiddled with, my scanner thinks it's Italian. (Or my computer thinks I'm Italian, I'm not sure.) Either way I do know that when I scan anything I have no idea what half of the options I have available to me actually are any more. The help files are in Italian too so I can't work out how to set it back to English.
Here's what I see when I scan anything: (click to bigger up the image)
Some of the options I can figure out. 'Scansione' is pretty obvious (in context) and 'Zoom' is pretty self-evident but what the hell is 'Ritaglio multiplo'? I have no idea and I'm too scared to fiddle with anything else in case I really bugger things up and the computer decides I'm Finnish or Arabic and I really loose contact with it.
I'll tell you what 'Ritaglio multiplo' sounds like to me. It sounds like a really nice interesting pasta dish - some sort of complex ravioli thing with a rich sauce. Most Italian words sound like foods to me: 'Selezione Larghezza' is obviously a really posh pizza, 'Impostazioni' sounds like a plate with a selection of cheeses and sliced salamis, and 'Dimensioni foglio' are really fat, tagliatelli-like noodles in a creamy, butter-heavy, spiced sauce. (The fact that the pull down box next to it offers 'Platina completa' as the first option suggests to me that smaller portions are available if I wanted them.)

Scanning makes me hungry.
