Scanning Documents by Inserting Two Documents at a Time or by Inserting the Next Document While the Current Document Is Being Scanned (iX100)

When scanning small size documents such as business cards and postcards with the ScanSnap, you can insert two documents at a time or you can insert the next document while the current document is being scanned. These scanning methods are referred to as dual scans.

Documents can be inserted in the following two methods:

Inserting two documents at a time in the ScanSnap
Inserting the next document while the current document is being scanned

For details about documents that can be scanned, refer to Documents to Scan (iX100).

ATTENTION

When you select an option other than [Automatic detection] for [Paper size] in the [Paper] tab of the ScanSnap Setup Window, the dual scan function is disabled.
Use a dual scan to scan a document within the following ranges. If one of the following ranges is exceeded, a length error occurs and part of the document may not appear in the scanned image.
- Maximum scanning length: 863 mm (34 in.) (355.6 mm (14 in.) when [Excellent] is specified for [Image Quality] in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap Setup Window)
- Maximum number of documents for scanning: 20 sheets
When you continue scanning by inserting the next document while the current document is being scanned, the [Scan/Stop] button flashes more quickly if the scanning length exceeds 650 mm (26 in.). If this occurs, wait until scanning is complete without continuing to insert more documents. After scanning is complete, insert the next document. The next scan is started automatically.

Open the feed guide of the ScanSnap.

- If you want the document to be ejected from the front of the ScanSnap or when there is not enough space where the document exits the ScanSnap, open the output guide.
  For details about documents that can be scanned with the output guide open, refer to Documents to Scan (iX100).

Insert the document straight into the feeding section of the ScanSnap, with the scanning side facing up.
Insert each document in the center of the left or right half of the feeding section.

ATTENTION
When inserting the documents, insert them at least 10 mm (0.39 in.) apart from each other. If the space between the documents is less than 10 mm (0.39 in.), the scanned images may not be cropped correctly.
- The document is pulled in until it is set inside the ScanSnap.
ATTENTION
- When you perform scanning with the output guide closed, leave enough space at the back of the ScanSnap to allow the document to be completely ejected. In addition, when you scan long page documents, hold the scanned documents with your hands to prevent them from falling off the unit where the ScanSnap is placed on.
  Make sure that the area where the document exits the scanner is clear of any obstacles. Otherwise, paper jam may occur.
- If you scan the following documents with the output guide open, a paper jam may occur and damage the documents. Scan the following documents with the output guide closed.
  - Thick paper (80 g/m² [20 lb] or heavier)
