    • If you want the document to be ejected from the front of the ScanSnap or when there is not enough space where the document exits the ScanSnap, open the output guide.

      For details about documents that can be scanned with the output guide open, refer to Documents to Scan (S1100i).

      Opening the Output Guide
    • How the document is ejected differs as below depending on whether the output guide is open or closed.

        When the Output Guide Is Closed
      • When the output guide is open
        When the Output Guide Is Open
    • The [Scan/Stop] button flashes in blue. The button returns to being lit normally when document scanning is enabled.

      In addition, the ScanSnap Manager icon in the notification area located at the far right of the taskbar changes from Not Communicating to Communicating.

  2. Insert the document straight into the feeding section of the ScanSnap, with the scanning side facing up.
    Inserting the Document
    • The document is pulled in until it is set inside the ScanSnap.
    ATTENTION
    • If you specify a standard size instead of selecting [Automatic detection] (default), insert the document by aligning it with the left edge of the feeding section.

      You can configure the scan settings in the ScanSnap Setup Window.

      Aligning the Document
    • When you perform scanning with the output guide closed, leave enough space at the back of the ScanSnap to allow the document to be completely ejected. In addition, when you scan long page documents, hold the scanned documents with your hands to prevent them from falling off the unit where the ScanSnap is placed on.

      Make sure that the area where the document exits the scanner is clear of any obstacles. Otherwise, paper jam may occur.

      Holding a Long Page Document
    • If you scan the following documents with the output guide open, a paper jam may occur and damage the documents. Scan the following documents with the output guide closed.
      • Thick paper (80 g/m2 [20 lb] or heavier)
      • Postcards
