It's because the scanning chip has pixels exactly 6microns by 6microns. That means that a full ap scan should really be 4149x3111. To make the numbers nicer, they scan a little less on the left, and a hair more vertically to give 4096x3112. What we usually deal with is half-resolution scans, hence 2048x1556.
