Specifying an Area Not to Detect Multifeed [Intelligent Multifeed Function]

When there is paper of the same size attached to a designated location on the page, the scanner can memorize the location of the attachment and can be configured not to detect multifeeds for that location. To configure this setting, you first need to select [Check Overlapping (Ultrasonic)] for the multifeed detection setting in Specifying a Multifeed Detection Method [Multifeed] or the scanner driver's setup dialog box.

  1. Start up the Software Operation Panel.

    Refer to Starting Up the Software Operation Panel.

  2. From the list on the left, select [Device Setting 2] → [Intelligent Multifeed Function].
    Multifeed
  3. Select an operation mode and click the [OK] button.

    Mode

    Description

    Manual mode

    Specify whether to stop feeding the documents when a multifeed is detected or resume the scan by loading the documents back on the hopper.

    The size and location of the paper attachment are not memorized.

    Auto mode 1

    Specify whether to memorize the length and position of a piece of paper that is attached on a document when a multifeed is detected.

    Once memorized, when a paper attachment of a similar pattern is detected, the scanner ignores it to suppress multifeed detection.

    Auto mode 2

    Specify whether to memorize the length of the longest piece of paper that is attached on a document when a multifeed is detected.

    Once memorized, when a paper attachment of the same length or shorter is detected, the scanner ignores it to suppress multifeed detection.
    HINT

    • By selecting the [Clear overlap pattern] check box, you can erase the overlapping patterns (length, position) that were memorized in Auto mode.

    • By selecting the [Memorize the overlap pattern automatically] check box, you can enable the function for memorizing an overlap pattern when overlapped documents are detected in Auto mode.

      Note that you first need to select [Stop and Show Image] for [Multifeed Detection] in the scanner driver's setup dialog box.

    • In [Remember overlap patterns at power-off], you can select whether or not to keep the overlap pattern upon turning the power off. When [Remember] is selected, you can use the memorized overlap pattern when the scanner is powered on next.

    • This setting can also be configured from the operator panel.
