IMPORTANT

Make sure that document stacks placed in the feed tray do not exceed the document guides.

Loading mark

The number of sheets that you can place in the scanner at one time varies by paper size as follows.

Legal/A4 Size or Smaller:

50 sheets (stack 5 mm thick) or less

Sizes Larger than Legal/A4:

30 sheets (stacks 3 mm thick) or less

Placing a Folded Document

Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger than Legal/A4 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. (The maximum size is 11" X 17"/A3.) To use the function, fold the document in half lengthwise and place it into the feeder. The ScanFront will scan both sides and combine the scanned images into a single image.

IMPORTANT

When folding the document, align the right and left sides and create a sharp, straight fold. Otherwise the document may jam or the image may not be aligned properly.

The fold line itself will not be scanned. Keep this in mind if there is content such as photos, diagrams, or text that spans the fold.

For Folio scanning, only the Page Separation OFF mode can be used. Place documents one at a time.

Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. Otherwise, the image may scan as skewed or shifted.

Hint

When scanning folded documents, switch the feed selection lever to OFF. (See p. 2-5.)

When placing folded documents, place the document into the scanner so that the fold is on the right side. The side of the folded document facing you will become the right side of the combined image.

When scanning a document that is folded in half, set [Scanning Side] to [Folio].

The maximum size for combined images is A3. When scanning a folded document of a size other than the standard formats, set [Page Size] to [Auto size].

When scanning a document that is folded in half, set [Resolution (dpi)] to 300 dpi or less.

When scanning a document that is folded in half, the [Double feed detection by Ultrasonic] function cannot be used.

Placing a Long Document

You scan documents up to 39.3" (1,000 mm) in length.

IMPORTANT

When scanning a long document, set [Page Size] to [Auto size (Long)].

When scanning a long document, set [Resolution (dpi)] to 200 dpi or less.

You cannot set [Scanning Side] to [Folio] when scanning a long document.
