Placing a Document
When you place documents under the ScanSnap, use the Background Pad.
If you scan a document without the Background Pad, the edges of the document may not be detected correctly and the created scanned image may be different from the document.

If a document is placed outside of the scan area, part of the scanned image may be left out or blurred.
When placing a standard size document
When you select an option other than [Automatic detection] for the paper size in the profile settings, align the center of the document with the centering mark on the ScanSnap.
