Removing Blank Pages from the Scanned Image Data
The ScanSnap is able to recognize and remove blank pages automatically from the scanned
image data. When you scan documents in Duplex mode with this function enabled, both sides
of the documents are scanned regardless of whether anything is printed on the back side or
not. When a blank side is scanned, it is recognized as "blank" and the image data is
automatically removed.
To remove blank pages, change the settings by following the procedure below.
1. Select [Scan Button Settings] from the Right-Click Menu.
Refer to "Right-Click Menu" (page 41) for more information about the Right-Click Menu.

zThe following types of documents may be recognized as blank pages:
- Almost blank documents with only a few characters
- Documents of only one color (including black) and without any patterns, lines, or
characters
When you scan such documents, clear the [Allow automatic blank page removal] check box.
Also make sure to check the image data for accidentally removed pages when discarding the
scanned document.
