3.4. Scanning with the Carrier Sheet

If you use the Carrier Sheet, you can scan large documents such as A3 and B4 size documents, and documents of irregular shapes such as clippings of newspaper.

3.4.1. Creating Facing Pages in One Image

Fold the document in half, scan it in duplex scanning mode, and then merge both front and back side images to make a double-page spread image.

When you scan with the Carrier Sheet, a detection error likely occurs in the folded portion, which may lose part of the page image. Therefore, this function is not recommended for scanning where accuracy is critical.

Here, as an example, this section explains how to scan an A3-size document.

If you are scanning an A3 document, it is not possible to load it onto the scanner as it is. Fold the document in half and scan it following the procedure below.

1.Spread the page to be scanned facing outwards and fold it in half from the center.

Fold it tightly and smooth out the crease so that the folded portion does not appear puffed.

2.Open the Carrier Sheet and place the folded document inside.

Align the fold with the right edge of the Carrier Sheet so that the document fits into the Carrier Sheet at the upper corner.

3.Load the Carrier Sheet onto the ScanSnap.

● Load the Carrier Sheet with the portion striped in black and white as the leading edge as shown in the right figure.

● When the Carrier Sheet is used for scanning, continuous scanning is not possible. Scan one piece or one sheet at one time.
