Xsane should tell you how wide (in pixels) the scane is; just adjust it to a multiple of 8. Or maybe postprocess with pnmcut to force a multiple of 8. If you scan at 196 dpi, (and there's notmuch point in scanning at anything else, for fax) then pnmcut -left 0 -width 1620 < image.pnm > faxable-image.pnm should be about right (corresponds to an image width of 210mm, near enough) Or if your image is already smaller than that, reduce the `1620' by multiples of 8.
