Scanning Documents Folded in Half

Pressing the feed mode button to switch the feed mode to Manual Single Mode allows you to scan a document folded in half (a document of A3 or Double Letter size that is folded in half) as it is.

ATTENTION

  • The document may be fed skewed if the folded part is too thick.

  • When Manual Single Mode is used, document overlapping will not be detected even if the settings are configured to detect overlapped documents by either of the following methods.

  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.

  2. Load the document folded in half in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    For details, refer to How to Load Documents.

  3. Press the feed mode button on the touch screen to switch the button display to the [Manual - Single] button.

    Every time you press the button, it switches to the other type.

    ATTENTION

    The scanning speed slows down when the feed mode is switched to Manual Single Mode.

    HINT

    The setting for switching the feed mode to Manual Single Mode can also be configured in the scanner driver. Note that priority is given to the scanner driver setting.

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

  4. Scan the document with the image scanning application.

    For details, refer to the manual/help of the image scanning application.

    ATTENTION

    Manual Single Mode is the mode for scanning a document folded in half or a multi-layered document such as an envelope.

    Therefore, even if the setting for detecting overlapped documents is enabled, such documents are not detected as overlapped documents.

    HINT

    • In Manual Single Mode, the scanner will wait for documents to be loaded in the ADF paper chute (feeder) until the timeout time elapses after scanning is started or a document is ejected.

      To end a scan before the timeout time elapses, press the [Pause] button.

      Scanning will finish if no document is loaded within the timeout time.

      You can set a timeout time as follows.

      • The [Manual Feeding] screen on the touch screen

        Set [Timeout seconds]. The scanner waits for the next document to be loaded within a specified time.

        The screen can be displayed in the following procedure:

        Settings → [Scanner Settings] → [Paper Source/Feeding] → [Manual Feeding]

      • Software Operation Panel

        For details, refer to Waiting Time in Manual Feeding [Manual Feeding].

    • When the feed mode is switched to Manual Single Mode, Manual Single Mode is cleared after a scan is complete.

      To keep scanning in Manual Single Mode for subsequent scans, set [Manual Feed Mode] to [Continue].

      When [Continue] is selected for [Manual Feed Mode], scans are performed in succession in Manual Single Mode until the feed mode button is pressed and switched to [Continuous] or [Manual - Continuous].

      The [Manual Feed Mode] setting can be changed to [Continue] by the following methods:

      • The [Manual Feeding] screen on the touch screen

        The screen can be displayed in the following procedure:

        Settings → [Scanner Settings] → [Paper Source/Feeding] → [Manual Feeding]

      • Software Operation Panel

        For details, refer to Waiting Time in Manual Feeding [Manual Feeding].

  5. Finish scanning.

    Scanning will finish if no document is loaded within the timeout time after the last document is ejected.

    To immediately end a scan, press the [Pause] button on the touch screen.
