How to Place Documents (SV600)

When you place down documents, use the Background Pad.

If you scan documents without using the Background Pad, the document edges may not be detected correctly and the created scanned image may be different from the document.

For details about documents that can be scanned with the ScanSnap, refer to Documents to Scan (SV600).

Scan Area

Place documents with the scanned side face-up in the following scan area.

Use the following to determine the scan area.

  • Area: Reference marks of the Background Pad
  • Height: Lines on the base of the ScanSnap

ATTENTION

If a document is placed outside of the scan area, part of the scanned image may be left out or blurred.

When Placing a Standard Size Document

When you select an option other than [Automatic detection] for [Paper size] on the [Paper] tab in the ScanSnap Setup Window, align the center of the document with the centering mark on the ScanSnap.
