Scanning Documents Folded in Half

Pressing the [Manual Feed] button to switch the feed mode to Manual Feed Mode allows you to scan a document folded in half (a document of up to A3 or Double Letter in size with a thickness of 64 to 105 g/m2 [17 to 28 lb]) as it is.

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

    Fold it firmly and smooth out any creases.

    ATTENTION

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

  4. Scan the document with the image scanning application.

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

    ATTENTION

    • In Manual Feed 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.

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

      You can set a timeout time as follows.

    • When you press the [Manual Feed] button to switch the feed mode to Manual Feed Mode, after scanning is complete, Manual Feed Mode is cleared.

      If you want to scan more than one document in succession in Manual Feed Mode, select [Continue] for [Manual Feed Mode] in the Software Operation Panel.

      When [Continue] is selected for [Manual Feed Mode], documents are scanned in succession in Manual Feed Mode until the [Manual Feed] button is pressed.
