Scanning Documents (iX500)

ScanSnap Connect Application can be used to scan documents.

For details about documents that can be scanned, refer to Documents That Can Be Loaded Directly into iX500.

The procedure to scan documents is as follows:

  1. If you are loading multiple sheets, check the number of sheets.

    The maximum number of sheets in the ScanSnap is as follows:

    For A4 or smaller sizes: Up to 50 sheets can be loaded (with paper weight of 80 g/m2 [20 lb] and thickness of the document stack under 5 mm [0.2 in.]).

    ATTENTION

    If you try to scan more than the maximum amount that can be loaded, the following problems may occur:

    • Files cannot be properly created due to excessive file size.

    • Paper jams occur during scanning.

  2. Fan the documents.

    1. Hold both ends of the documents and fan them a few times.

    2. Rotate the documents 90 degrees and fan them in the same manner.

  3. Straighten the edges of the documents and slightly displace the top edges at an angle.
