Scanning Documents Larger than A4/Letter Size

The optional Carrier Sheet can be used to scan documents larger than A4/Letter size, such as A3 or B4.

Fold a document in half and place it inside the Carrier Sheet.

  1. Place the document inside the Carrier Sheet.
    1. Fold the document in half so that the sides to be scanned are facing out.

      Fold it firmly and smooth out any creases.

      Otherwise, it may cause the document to skew while feeding is in progress and result in a skewed image.

      Example

    2. Open the Carrier Sheet to place the document inside.

      Note that the front side of the Carrier Sheet has a black and white pattern at the top and a thick vertical line in the upper right-hand corner.

      Align the top and the fold line of the document with the Carrier Sheet so that no space is left in the upper and right sides of the Carrier Sheet.

    For details, refer to the help for the image scanning application.

ATTENTION

  • The image is output at the center of the page in the size specified for [Paper Size] in the scanner driver.

  • When [Automatic] is specified for [Paper Size] in the scanner driver, the most suitable size is selected from standard sizes which can be specified for [Paper Size]. Note that the size of the image may become smaller than the original document depending on the document scanned, or part of the image may appear missing.

    Example

    When an A5 size image is printed in the center of an A4 size document

    → The image is output in A5 size.

    To output the scanned image in the actual size of the document, specify the document size for [Paper size].
