[Save together] checkbox

Select this checkbox and perform a scan to handle the received JPEG files virtually as a single file.

You can preview the files one by one on the [Preview] screen.

ATTENTION

When the ScanSnap Sync function is set to on, a file is displayed as a folder instead of a file if the file was created by selecting [Save together] checkbox and then uploaded to a cloud service. If you change the name of the folder on the client side of a cloud service, the folder may not be displayed as a file on ScanSnap Connect Application.

You can specify the format in which each file is automatically named when they are saved.

The date and time a scanned image is saved as a file or [Enter directly] can be selected for the format of the file name.

In the [Enter directly] screen, you can enter a file name of 50 characters or less.

If no name is entered, the file is named as "untitled".

If the same name already exists, the file name will be changed to "filename_nnn". "nnn" is the serial number.

The following color modes are available.

  Automatically detects the color of each document and scans in color or gray.

• Color

  Always saves the scanned image as color.

• Gray

  Always saves the scanned image as gray.

• B&W

  Always saves the scanned image as black & white.

  This option is available when [PDF] is selected for [File format].

Brightness (B&W)

Adjusts the brightness of black & white images in 11 levels when [B&W] is selected for [Color Mode].

The lower the number the lighter the image becomes; the higher the number the darker the image becomes.

The following image quality (resolution) levels are available.

• Auto

  Select this mode to scan documents at optimal resolution according to their paper size.

  Documents are scanned in [Better] mode when the length is longer than 148 mm/5.83 in. (A6 portrait), and in [Best] mode when shorter than 148 mm/5.83 in. (A6 portrait). In addition, in [Auto] mode, the resolution is automatically determined by the length of the document.

  Therefore, the quality of the saved images may vary depending on the orientation of the document that is loaded in iX1600 or iX1500.

  For example, the image quality is automatically set to [Better] when you load an A5 size document in the feeding section of iX1600 or iX1500 in portrait orientation. The image quality is automatically set to [Best] when you load the document in landscape orientation.

• Normal

  Select this mode to scan documents quickly.

• Better

  Select this mode to scan documents in high quality.

• Best

  Select this mode to scan documents in higher quality than [Better].

The following scan sides are available.

• Duplex Scan

  Scans both sides of the document.

• Simplex Scan

  Scans only one side of the document.

Select a feeding method for scanning.

• Normal Scan

  Scans documents loaded in the ADF paper chute (cover) of iX1600 or iX1500 at a time.

• Continuous Scan

  Scans documents continuously.

  Select this feeding method to scan a number of documents that is larger than the number of documents that can be loaded in the ADF paper chute (cover) of iX1600 or iX1500.

  Every time the scanning of a document that is loaded in ADF paper chute (cover) of iX1600 or iX1500 is finished, a feeding method can be changed on the touch panel of iX1600 or iX1500.

  When you scan the following documents, press the feed mode setting icon in the lower right of the screen for continuing a scan on the touch panel of iX1600 or iX1500 to select [Manual scan] for [Feed].

  • Documents folded in half

  • Envelopes

  • Documents with sticky notes attached

  • Multi-layered documents such as transfer paper

  • Long page documents such as long receipts

  • Plastic cards

• Manual Scan

  Scans documents by loading one document at a time.

  Select this feeding method to scan documents such as photographs that can be damaged quite easily, multi-layered documents such as envelopes, or documents that are larger than A4 size documents and are folded in half.

  Every time the scanning of a document that is loaded in ADF paper chute (cover) of iX1600 or iX1500 is finished, a feeding method can be changed on the touch panel of iX1600 or iX1500.

  When you scan multiple documents such as office paper and so on, press the feed mode setting icon in the lower right of the screen for continuing a scan on the touch panel of iX1600 or iX1500 to select [Continuous scan] for [Feed].

When [Continuous Scan] or [Manual Scan] is selected, a message appears asking you whether to continue scanning or not after completing the scan of the document that you loaded in iX1600 or iX1500.

When [Continuous Scan] is selected, load documents in iX1600 or iX1500, and then press the [Continue] button or the [Scan] button on the touch panel to continue scanning.

When [Manual Scan] is selected, load documents in iX1600 or iX1500 to continue scanning.

To end the scan, press the [Exit] button on ScanSnap Connect Application or press the [Finish] button on the touch panel.

Select this checkbox to remove blank pages from the output images automatically.

For example, if you specify "Duplex Scan" to scan a document with contents on only one side, only the image on this side will be saved because this option removes blank pages (the other side).

Select this checkbox to reduce bleed-through on document where text and/or illustrations can bleed or seep through to the other side.

You can set the paper sizes that are available for scanning with iX1600 or iX1500.

The following paper sizes are available:

• Auto

• A4

• A5

• A6

• B5 (JIS)

• B6 (JIS)

Select this checkbox to detect a multifeed error (multiple sheets scanned at once).

If the scanner senses an overlapping of documents, the scanner detects this as a multifeed error.

Adjusts the compression rate in five levels when an item other than [B&W] is selected for [Color Mode].

The larger this value is, the higher the compression rate becomes, and noise in the image is more visible.

On the contrary, the smaller the value is, the lower the rate becomes, and the noise is less visible.

Set as the default destination for saving scanned images.

The [Specify destination] screen appears where you can save the file in.
