    Repeat steps 6 to 8 to scan more documents such as photographs and clippings.

    You can continue to scan documents that can be inserted directly in the ScanSnap.

    For details about how to perform a scan, refer to Scanning Documents (iX100).

  9. Press the [Scan/Stop] button on the ScanSnap to finish scanning.
    • The scanned image is saved.
ATTENTION
  • The scanned image is output at the center of the page in the size specified for [Paper size] in the [Carrier Sheet Settings] window.
  • If [Automatic detection] is specified for [Paper size] in the [Carrier Sheet Settings] window, an optimal size will be selected automatically from the available standard sizes in [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 the contents are printed to fit in A5 size in the center of an A4 size document, the scanned image is output in A5 size.

    To output the scanned image in its original size, specify the document size in [Paper size].

In the following cases, place a blank (white) sheet of paper underneath the document when scanning:
  • The scanned image is not saved in the correct size (when [Automatic detection] is selected for [Paper size] in the [Carrier Sheet Settings] window)
  • Shadows appear around the edges of the scanned image
  • Black lines appear around the edges of a uniquely shaped cutting
