Scanning Documents (iX100)

ScanSnap Connect Application can be used to scan documents.

For details about documents that can be scanned, refer to Documents That Can Be Loaded Directly into iX100.

The procedure for scanning documents by inserting one document at a time is as follows.

  1. Open the feed guide of iX100.
    Open the Feed Guide
    HINT

    • If you want the document to be ejected from the front of iX100 or when there is not enough space at the back of iX100 to allow the document to be completely ejected, open the output guide.

      For details about documents that can be scanned with the output guide open, refer to Documents That Can Be Loaded Directly into iX100.

      Open 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 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.

  2. Insert the document straight into the feeding section of iX100, with the scanning side facing up.
    Inserting the Document

    The document is pulled in until it is set inside iX100.

    ATTENTION

    • If you specify a standard size instead of selecting [Auto] (default) (for [Paper] from the [Profile] window), insert the document by aligning it with the left edge of the feeding section.

      Align the Document

    • When you perform scanning with the output guide closed, leave enough space at the back of iX100 to allow the document to be completely ejected.

      Make sure that the area where the document is ejected from iX100 is clear of any obstacles. Otherwise, paper jam may occur.

    • 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

      • Business cards

      • Plastic cards

    • When you configure [Specify destination] for [Destination] in the [Profile] screen, the file is moved to the specified destination after scanning.

      Because the file that is moved is not displayed in the [File List] screen or in the folder screen with the ScanSnap Sync function set to on, use another application to confirm that the image data meets your requirements.

    • When the ScanSnap Sync function is set to on, the received file is uploaded to a synced cloud service automatically if you select the [Auto Upload] checkbox in [ScanSnap Sync Setting] and if an Internet connection is established.

  4. Tap the received file on the [File List] screen or the [Files] screen.

    The [Preview] screen appears.

  5. Confirm that the image data meets your requirements.

    If it does not meet the requirements, connect the computer with iX100, scan the document, and then get or download the file in the following procedure.

    • Use Scan to Mobile to receive the file

    • Use the ScanSnap Sync function to download the file that is saved in ScanSnap Organizer

    You can send and view the received file in another application. When the ScanSnap Sync function is set to on, the received file can be uploaded to a cloud service. After the received file is uploaded to a cloud service, the file can be used in ScanSnap Organizer on a computer that is synced with the cloud service or used on other mobile devices.

ATTENTION

  • The scanned data will be discarded if you exit ScanSnap Connect Application during scanning.

  • When a notification occurs such as an e-mail alert, alarm or power shortage, a mobile device connected to iX100 will be disconnected and scanning will be canceled.
