Using the ScanSnap in Various Ways (for Mac OS users)

■Correcting the Orientation of Scanned Images
In an office environment, it is often the case that a single batch contains same size documents
of different page orientations.
The ScanSnap is able to automatically rotate each scanned image to its correct orientation for
such document batches.
To rotate scanned images to their correct orientations, change the settings in the following
procedure.
1. Select [Settings] from the ScanSnap Manager menu.
For details about the ScanSnap Manager menu, refer to "ScanSnap Manager Menu"
(page 224).
The ScanSnap setup window appears.
Since this option determines the document’s page orientation based on the character strings
printed on the document, the following types of documents may be rotated to the wrong
orientation. In that case, clear the [Allow automatic image rotation] checkbox.
zDocuments with many extremely large or small characters
zDocuments on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters
are overlapped
zDocuments with many characters contacting underlines or borders
zDocuments with many photographs or figures and few characters
zDocuments with characters on an unevenly colored background
e.g. Shaded characters
zDocuments with many decorated characters
e.g. Decorated characters (embossed/outlined)
