Using the ScanSnap in Various Ways (for Windows Users)

■Correcting Skewed Character Strings
The ScanSnap is able to detect skewed character strings on the document and correct the
skew. This function is available when characters printed on the document are skewed.
To correct skewed character strings, change the settings by following the procedure below.
1. Select [Scan Button Settings] from the Right-Click Menu.
⇒The ScanSnap setup dialog box appears.
•Up to +/-5 degrees of skews can be corrected.
This function determines a document skew based on the character strings printed on the doc-
ument, so it may not work properly for the following image data:
-Documents on which pitches of lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters
are overlapped
-Documents that have many outlined or decorated characters
-Documents that have many photographs or figures but only a few characters
-Documents that have characters on patterned background
-Documents that have characters printed in various directions (e.g. drawings)
-Documents that have long diagonal lines
-Documents with handwritten characters
When you scan such documents, clear the [Correct skewed character strings automatically]
check box.
•When scanning with the Carrier Sheet, skewed character strings are not corrected.
For documents skewed while being scanned, the skew is always corrected regardless of
whether [Correct skewed character strings automatically] is enabled or not.
