    • When scanning documents all at once (U-turn Scan)

      Load the documents in the ADF paper chute (cover) and align the side guides with both ends of the documents.

      Load the document face-up and head-first with the front facing you (when loading multiple documents, the first page is on the top).

      Hold each side guide in the middle to adjust them. Otherwise, the documents may be fed skewed.

        If the document support tab is closed, pull it up with your fingers.


        Pulling up the Document Support Tab

      • If the document support tab comes off, contact the distributor/dealer where you purchased this product.

    • When scanning documents one by one (Return Scan)

      Insert the document into the manual feeder.

      Face the front side of a document upwards and 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.

    To continue scanning, load the next document to be scanned.

    When the document is inserted into the manual feeder, scanning starts automatically.

    The [Scan] button flashes in blue while the scanned image is being sent to the ScanSnap Cloud service.

    When the scanned image has been sent, the [Scan] button lights up in purple again.

  5. Press the [Scan] button on the ScanSnap to finish scanning.

    A new scan history is added to the scan history list of the ScanSnap Cloud application by updating the list. For details about the scan history list, refer to Main Screen.

    HINT

    When a scanned image is sent to the ScanSnap Cloud service or saved in a cloud storage service, a push notification is sent to your mobile device.

  6. 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.
