Scanning Multi-Layered Documents Such as Envelopes (iX1300)

The manual feeder of iX1300 enables you to scan documents that have overlapped areas such as envelopes, documents folded in half, and transfer paper.
ATTENTION

Scanning documents that have overlapped areas is only available for Return Scan, in which a document is inserted into the manual feeder and scanned.

For details about documents that can be scanned with Return Scan, refer to Documents That Can Be Loaded Directly into iX1300.

  1. Hold the right side of the ADF paper chute (cover) of the ScanSnap then open it or press the [Scan] button to turn it 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.

  • Up to 1,000 pages can be created for a single PDF file.

  • Do not close the application while receiving a file. Doing so may slow down the next startup because the [File List] screen or the folder screen with the ScanSnap Sync function set to on takes time to reload.
