  3. Load a document in the ADF paper chute (cover).

    Load a document face-down and head-first with the back facing you (when loading multiple documents, the last page is on the top). Adjust the number of documents so that they do not go beyond A Reference Mark for Loading Documents and are kept within the side guides when they are loaded.

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 iX1600 or iX1500 will be disconnected and scanning will be canceled.

    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.

  • Scanning using the Carrier Sheet and Photo Carrier Sheet is not available.

    If you use ScanSnap Manager on your computer, use ScanSnap Manager to scan a document placed inside the Carrier Sheet. You can receive the file or download the file to your mobile device 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

  • 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.
