Scanning Documents of Different Widths or Lengths in One Batch (iX500)

When ScanSnap Connect Application is used, you can scan documents of different widths or lengths in one batch.

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

The procedure for scanning documents of different widths or lengths in one batch is as follows.

Open the ADF paper chute (cover) of iX500.

The [Scan] button flashes in blue. The button returns to being lit normally when document scanning is enabled.
Pull the stacker towards you.
Depending on documents to scan, pull out the extension on the ADF paper chute (cover) and open the stacker.
Tap on the [File List] screen or do the same thing on the folder screen with the ScanSnap Sync function set to on.

The [Settings] screen appears.
Tap [Profile] in the [Settings] screen.

Available profiles appear.
In [Paper], select [Auto] in [Paper size].
Perform one of the following to return to the [File List] screen or the folder screen with the ScanSnap Sync function set to on.
- Press the back button on the hardware
- Tap the [Back] button on the software
The [File List] screen or the folder screen with the ScanSnap Sync function set to on appears.
Load documents in iX500.
1. Align the edges of the documents.
2. Load the documents at the center of the ADF paper chute (cover).
ATTENTION
- Load all documents over one another above the pick roller (center). Documents that are not loaded above the pick roller cannot be fed.
- Adjust the side guides to the widest document. If the side guides are not adjusted properly, a paper jam may occur.
- Load smaller documents so that they can be scanned straight.
  
  If the documents are skewed during scanning, the following problems may occur:
  - Part of the document does not appear in the scanned image
  - Slant lines appear in the scanned image
  - The documents are scanned in a wrong paper size
  If the documents are not scanned straight, it is recommended that you set [Continuous Scan] for [Feed] under [Scanning] in [Profile], separate the documents by their widths, and scan them in different batches.
Perform a scan.

You can send and view the received file in another application. When the ScanSnap Sync function is set to on, the received file can be uploaded to a cloud service. After the received file is uploaded to a cloud service, the file can be used in ScanSnap Organizer on a computer that is synced with the cloud service or used on other mobile devices.

ATTENTION

The scanned data will be discarded if you exit ScanSnap Connect Application during scanning.
When a notification occurs such as an e-mail alert, alarm or power shortage, a mobile device connected to iX500 will be disconnected and scanning will be canceled.
