Setting to Ignore Certain Overlap Patterns [Intelligent Multifeed Function]

Configure the setting to automatically ignore certain patterns of overlapped documents when the setting to detect overlapped documents is enabled.

Note that you first need to specify [Check Overlapping(Ultrasonic)] or [Check Overlapping and Length] in the scanner driver and Specifying a Method to Detect Overlapped Documents [Multifeed] on the Software Operation Panel before setting this item.

  1. Start up Software Operation Panel.
  2. From the list on the left, select [Device Setting 2] [Intelligent Multifeed Function].
  3. Select an operation mode.
    Standard mode

    Specify whether overlapped documents are detected when re-scanning documents detected as overlapped documents.

    Does not memorize the size or location of the paper attachment.

    Overlapping is not detected for a piece of paper (80 mm or less in the feeding direction) attached on a document (such as sticky notes).

    Scanning will stop immediately if overlapped documents are detected.

    Note that if the setting for stopping the scan to check images is set to on in the scanner driver, scanning will stop after overlapped documents are ejected.

    This is the factory default setting.

    Manual mode

    Specify whether overlapped documents are detected when re-scanning documents detected as overlapped documents.

    Does not memorize the size or location of the paper attachment.

    Scanning will stop immediately if overlapped documents are detected.

    Note that if the setting for stopping the scan to check images is set to on in the scanner driver, scanning will stop after overlapped documents are ejected.

    Auto mode 1

    Specify whether the length and position of a piece of paper attached on a document detected as overlapped documents are memorized as an overlap pattern.

    If the overlap pattern is memorized, documents with the same overlap pattern are not detected as overlapped documents from the next scan.

    Scanning will stop after the overlapped documents are ejected.

    Overlap patterns can be memorized for up to 32 sheets (up to four overlap patterns can be memorized per sheet).

    Once overlap patterns have been memorized for 32 sheets, the memorized patterns will be overwritten by any newly detected patterns starting from the first sheet that was memorized.

    However, when turning the scanner off and on, the number of memorized overlap patterns depends on the setting for [Remember overlap patterns at power-off] in the Software Operation Panel.

    For details, refer to Setting to Ignore Certain Overlap Patterns [Intelligent Multifeed Function].

    HINT

    If you want the scanner to memorize five or more overlap patterns for a document, scan the documents once for the scanner to memorize the overlap patterns, then scan the documents again for the scanner to memorize new overlap patterns so that the newly memorized overlap patterns will not be detected as overlapping from the next scan.

    Auto mode 2

    Specify whether the length of the longest piece of paper attached on a document detected as overlapped documents is memorized as an overlap pattern.

    If the overlap pattern is memorized, a document with a piece of paper in the same length or shorter attached is not detected as overlapped documents from the next scan.

    Scanning will stop after the overlapped documents are ejected.

    Only one overlap pattern can be memorized in this operation mode.

    [Clear overlap pattern] check box

    Select this to erase the overlap patterns that were memorized in Auto mode.

    By selecting this, you can erase the overlap patterns that were memorized in Auto mode.

    You can erase overlap patterns that were not supposed to be memorized, but be careful with this operation because all memorized patterns will be erased.

    The check box is cleared for the factory default settings.

    [Memorize the overlap pattern automatically] check box

    For Auto mode 1 or Auto mode 2, manually switch whether or not to memorize an overlap pattern when overlapped documents are detected.

    Select this to change the default setting to enable in order to memorize the overlap pattern when overlapped documents are detected.

    The check box is cleared for the factory default settings.

    For details about the function that memorizes an overlap pattern, refer to Configuring Not to Detect Certain Overlap Patterns.

    Remember overlap patterns at power-off

    You can specify whether or not to keep the overlap pattern upon turning the power off.

    When [Remember] is specified, you can use eight of the most recent overlap patterns the next time the scanner is powered on.

    The factory default setting is [Do not remember].

    HINT
    • When the setting for using the (Carrier) Sheet is enabled in the scanner driver, [Intelligent Multifeed Function] is disabled.

    • For fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270, this setting can also be configured in the operator panel.

    • For fi-8150/fi-8250/fi-8150U/fi-8250U, The memorized overlap patterns can be also erased by holding down the [Function] button for five seconds or more while the function number is flashing on the operator panel.
