Scanning Documents of Different Sizes in One Batch

Documents of different widths or lengths can be loaded in one batch into the ScanSnap.
ATTENTION

  • Scanning documents of different sizes in one batch is only available for U-turn Scan, in which a document is loaded in the ADF paper chute (cover) and scanned.

  • For details about documents that can be scanned with U-turn Scan, refer to here in the ScanSnap Help.

  1. Hold the right side of the ADF paper chute (cover) of the ScanSnap then open it 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.

    1. Align the leading edge and the center of the documents.

    2. Load the documents face-down and top-first with the front of the first document facing you.

      The pick roller feeds the documents. Load all documents over one another above the pick roller (center). Documents that are not loaded above the pick roller cannot be fed.

      ATTENTION

      • Also, adjust the side guides to the widest document in the batch. Load the other documents so that they can be scanned straight. If the documents are skewed during scanning, the following problems may occur:

        • Part of the scanned image appears missing

        • Slant lines appear in the scanned image

        • The size of the scanned image differs from the document size

      • Make sure that the document support tab is open.

        Otherwise, a paper jam may occur.

        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.

      • After scanning documents of similar sizes such as business cards and receipts in one batch, make sure that scanned images are transferred to a specified cloud storage service. If the scanned images are transferred to a different cloud storage service, refer to the following.

        Transferring a Scanned Image to Another Cloud Storage Service

  4. Press the [Scan] button on the ScanSnap and scan the document.

    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.

    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.

  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.
