Scanning Documents Such as Photographs and Clippings (iX1600/iX1500)

ScanSnap Connect Application can be used to scan documents that can be damaged quite easily such as photographs, or non-standard size documents that are difficult to load directly such as clippings. Scan the documents manually by loading one document at a time.

For details about documents that can be scanned, refer to Documents That Can Be Loaded Directly into iX1600/iX1500.

The procedure to scan documents such as photographs and clippings is as follows:

  1. Open the ADF paper chute (cover) of iX1600 or iX1500.

    In this case, you can keep the scanned data created before the disconnection, however, you cannot continue scanning the rest of the document.

  • Up to 1,000 pages can be created for a single PDF file.

    • Use Scan to Mobile to receive the file

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

  • Do not close the application while receiving a file. Doing so may slow down the next startup because the [File List] screen or the folder screen with the ScanSnap Sync function set to on takes time to reload.
