■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. Moreover, the reverse sides of double-sided documents in
calendar style are printed upside down.
The ScanSnap is able to automatically rotate each page to its correct orientation for such
document batches.
To rotate document pages to their correct orientations, 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.
DThe ScanSnap setup dialog box appears.
This function determines document orientation based on the characters printed on the
document so it may not work properly for the following document types:
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)
zDocuments with characters on a patterned background
e.g. Characters overlapping illustrations and diagrams
zDocuments with characters printed in various directions such as drawings
zDocuments written using only capital characters
zDocuments including handwritten characters
zSkewed documents
zDocuments written in an unsupported language (Language other than Japanese/English/
French/German/Italian/Spanish/Chinese (simplified)/Chinese (traditional)/Korean/Russian/
Portuguese)
zDocuments with complex layouts
zDocuments with a large amount of image noise
zDocuments with faint characters

When you scan such documents, clear the [Allow automatic image rotation] check box.
