Loading or Inserting a Document Larger than A4 or Letter Size

To scan a document larger than A4/Letter size, fold the document in half and load or insert it into the ScanSnap. The images for the left and right pages of a document folded in half are automatically merged when the document is scanned. To scan a document larger than A4/Letter size, load or insert the document into the ScanSnap using the optional Carrier Sheet. Scan the Carrier Sheet with a document folded in half placed inside to automatically merge the images for the both sides of the document.

Note that multiple Carrier Sheets can be loaded and scanned in one go with the ScanSnap.

ATTENTION

Scanning documents larger than A4/Letter size is available for Return Scan, in which a document is inserted into the manual feeder and scanned.

When you save scanned images directly from the ScanSnap to a network folder, the images of the left and right pages of a document folded in half will not be merged.
Scanned images are merged automatically when a document that meets the following conditions is scanned:
- Paper size
  - A3 size
  - B4 size
  - Double letter size
- There is text, diagram, or a table on the fold line of a folded document.
If scanned images are not merged automatically, you can merge the two pages into a double-page spread image using one of the following methods:
- Merging scanned images in the window that appears when the scanning of a document is complete
  
  After scanning a document, click the [Manual Image Merge] button in the [ScanSnap Home - Image scanning and file saving] window, and then merge the two pages in the [Image Merge] window.
