Scanning Documents Such as Photographs and Clippings (iX1300)

Using the optional Carrier Sheet allows you to scan documents that can be damaged quite easily such as photographs, or non-standard size documents that are difficult to load directly such as clippings.

ATTENTION

The Carrier Sheet is only available for Return Scan, in which a document is inserted into the manual feeder and scanned.
For details about documents that can be scanned with Return Scan, refer to Documents to Scan (iX1300).
The [Deskew by text on document] checkbox in the [Scanning mode option] window will be disabled.

To open the [Scanning mode option] window, click the [Option] button in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap Setup Window.

Right-click the ScanSnap Manager icon in the notification area located at the far right of the taskbar, and select the [Scan Button Settings] from the Right-Click Menu.

In the [Paper] tab, select [Automatic detection] in [Paper size], and then click the [Carrier Sheet Settings] button in [Manual feeder] (Return Scan).

Insert the part with the black and white pattern straight into the manual feeder, with the front side of the Carrier Sheet facing up.
Make sure that the Carrier Sheet is fed into the ScanSnap and is held firmly.

ATTENTION
When you scan a document, the document comes out from the back of the ScanSnap.

Leave space (about the length of the Carrier Sheet) at the back of the ScanSnap.

  When scanning is complete, the scanned image is displayed in the preview area.
  
  To continue scanning, insert the next document to be scanned. When the document is inserted, scanning starts automatically.
Click the [Finish Scanning] button in the [ScanSnap Manager - Image scanning and file saving] window or press the [Scan] button on the ScanSnap without loading any more documents in the ScanSnap.
- The scanned image is saved.

ATTENTION

The scanned image is output at the center of the page in the size specified for [Paper size] in the [Carrier Sheet Settings] window.
If [Automatic detection] is specified for [Paper size] in the [Carrier Sheet Settings] window, an optimal size will be selected automatically from the available standard sizes in [Paper size]. Note that the size of the image may become smaller than the original document depending on the document scanned, or part of the image may appear missing.

Example: When the contents are printed to fit in A5 size in the center of an A4 size document, the scanned image is output in A5 size.

To output the scanned image in its original size, specify the document size in [Paper size].

HINT

In the following cases, place a blank (white) sheet of paper underneath the document when scanning:
- The scanned image is not saved in the correct size (when [Automatic detection] is selected for [Paper size] in the [Carrier Sheet Settings] window)
- Shadows appear around the edges of the scanned image
- Black lines appear around the edges of a uniquely shaped cutting document if you place the document in the Carrier Sheet
