Scanning a Long Page Document

Documents with a length of up to 3,000 mm (118.11 in.) can be scanned. Documents with a length of up to 863 mm (34 in.) can be scanned.

The length of a document that can be scanned varies depending on the setting for [Image quality] in the scan settings and the number of bits for the operating system of the computer that you are using.

*1:

When you establish a link with a cloud service by using ScanSnap Cloud, if [Normal] or [Better] is selected for [Image quality] in the scan settings, long page documents can be scanned.

When [Automatically detects the document type as "Documents", "Business Cards", "Receipts", or "Photos" and scans the document with the appropriate scan settings] is selected for [Document type detection], whether long page documents can be scanned or not will depend on the setting that has been set for [Image quality] in the [Documents] tab in [Scan settings]. The images created from the documents that you scanned are saved as "Documents" for the document type regardless of the setting in [Document type detection], and the document type cannot be changed.

*1:*2:

When you save scanned images directly from the ScanSnap to a network folder or cloud service using ScanSnap Cloud, the scannable document length differs depending on the settings of [Scanning side] in the scan settings.
