Detect Double Feed (1400u Only) This function detects the feeding of more than one sheet at a time. If a double feed is detected, you can opt
to be notified. The default setting for this function is stop.
Î NOTE:
With this function, ultrasonic waves are aimed at the document to detect double feed by the level at
which the waves pass through the sheets. The function can detect double feed even when sheets
are superimposed exactly on top of each other, but it may not be detected properly with some paper
thicknesses and when creasing and other factors are present.
When important documents are to be scanned, check the number of document sheets and the
number of scanned image sheets.
When scanning a document containing paper in different sizes, double feed can be detected when
this function is selected.
The default for Detect Double Feed is ON.
