Scanning Documents Larger Than A4 or Letter Size

Fold documents of A3, B4, or Double Letter size in half, and scan them with the ScanSnap. The images for the left and right pages of the document folded in half are automatically merged when scanned.
ATTENTION

Scanning documents folded in half 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 loaded, refer to here in the ScanSnap Help.

  • Scanned images are automatically merged only when there is text, diagram, or a table on the fold line of the folded document.

    • Documents whose scanned images are merged automatically

      Documents Whose Scanned Images Are Merged Automatically

    • Documents whose scanned images are not merged automatically

      Documents Whose Scanned Images Are Not Merged Automatically

  • For a document whose scanned images are not merged automatically, you can use the optional Carrier Sheet to scan the document and merge the scanned images automatically.

  1. Hold the right side of the ADF paper chute (cover) of the ScanSnap then open it or press the [Scan] button to turn the power on.

    Open the ADF paper chute (cover) fully so that the [Scan] button lights up in blue.

    When the ADF paper chute (cover) is opened, the extension will rise automatically.

      Folding the Document in Half
      ATTENTION

      Fold the document in half along the center of the long edge. If the left and right pages of the document folded in half are different in size, the scanned images may not be merged automatically.

    2. Insert the top end of the document straight into the middle of the manual feeder.

      Make sure that the Carrier Sheet is pulled in and set in the ScanSnap.

      Inserting the Document
      ATTENTION

      The document comes out from the back of the ScanSnap during the scan.

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

      HINT

      You can scan a document with the ADF paper chute (cover) closed.

  4. Press the [Scan] button to start a scan.

    To continue scanning, insert the next document to be scanned. When the document is inserted, scanning starts automatically.

  5. On a cloud storage service that supports the scanned document type, check the scanned image to make sure the document was scanned properly.

    Scanned images can be checked on the Detail View Screen of the ScanSnap Cloud application.

    HINT

    If the scanned image is not saved in a specified cloud storage service, the document type for the scanned document may have been detected incorrectly. In such a case, the scanned image can be transferred to another cloud storage service. For details, refer to Transferring a Scanned Image to Another Cloud Storage Service.

    If it is difficult to do so, disable the detection of the document type and specify one cloud storage service. Scanned images will always be saved in the specified cloud storage service, regardless of the document type. For details, refer to [Select cloud storage services] Screen.
