8.4 Multifeed Detection

Multifeed refers to the phenomenon, when two or more documents are fed overlapping at once into the scanner.

This may cause the loss of important data.To prevent this, this scanner is equipped with a Multifeed detection function.

When function is activated, a message will be displayed and the scanning interrupted in case a Multifeed has been detected.

Configure the settings for the Multifeed detection as follows.

1.Start up the Software Operation Panel.

Refer to “8.1 Scanner Settings” on page 173.

2.Select [Device Setting 2] from left side list in the window, and select [Multifeed] from its lower level.

3.Select the detection method.

None

: No Multifeed detection will be performed.
Check Overlapping: Document overlapping will be monitored.
(Ultrasonic)

When this method is slected, two more options are available specified by other sec-

 

tions.

 

• Multifeed detection areas can be narrowed separately for left/middle/right Ultra-

 

sonic sensors to avoid unintensional multifeed detection of sticked photogragh or

 

something on the document. To specify this, go to Step 4.

 

• If photogragh or something is sticked on the document and its size and/or position

 

are same, you can easily let the scanner memorize its size and/or position just

 

scanning those document. To use this function, go to Section “8.10 Intelligent

 

Multifeed Function” or Section “3.12 Not detecting Multifeed for fixed

 

format”.
Check Length:: The difference of the documents length will be monitored.

Check Overlapping

: [Check Overlapping] and [Check Length], both parameters will be used for monitor-

and Lengthing the fed documents.
