Configuring Not to Detect Certain Overlap Patterns

If detecting overlapped documents during a scan is set, when you scan a document with a paper attachment such as a sticky note, receipt, or photo, it is detected as overlapped documents, and the scan may stop. Use the intelligent multifeed detection function not to detect these types of documents.

This function has two modes, a mode that is used to configure the settings manually by a user every time the scanner detects overlapped documents, and a mode that is used to configure the settings automatically by the scanner based on the overlap patterns (length and location) for paper attachments such as sticky notes, receipts, or photos that the scanner has memorized.

To use this setting, detecting overlapped documents needs to be set in advance.

  • [Multifeed Detection] in the scanner driver

    For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.

  • [Multifeed Detection] on the touch screen or [Multifeed] on the Software Operation Panel

    For details about the settings on the touch screen, refer to Multifeed Detection.

    For details about the settings on the Software Operation Panel, refer to Specifying a Method to Detect Overlapped Documents [Multifeed].

Document That Causes a Multifeed

The following three operation modes are available.

Operation mode

Description

Manually Bypass

Specify whether or not to detect overlapped documents every time they are detected.

Automatically Bypass (combination of length and position)

Specify the setting not to automatically detect overlapped documents when the paper attachment is the same length and in the same location as memorized.

Automatically Bypass (length)

Specify the setting not to automatically detect overlapped documents when the paper attachment is the same length or shorter as memorized.

Select an operation mode in the [Intelligent Multifeed Detection] screen on the touch screen.

The [Intelligent Multifeed Detection] screen can be displayed in the following procedure.

Settings → [Scanner Settings] → [Paper Source/Feeding] → [Intelligent Multifeed Detection]

When using the Software Operation Panel, refer to Setting to Ignore Certain Overlap Patterns [Intelligent Multifeed Function].
