♦Multifeed Detection

This option detects a multifeed (occurs when two or more documents are sent) based on the set condition.

If a multifeed is detected when this setting has been turned on, the device will stop and an error message output.

However, when [Double-page spread], [Cropping (Front)] or [Cropping (Duplex)] is selected, an error message will appear when a multifeed is detected but the device will not stop.

None

Multifeed detection is not performed.

Hardware Setting

A multifeed is detected based on the device setting.

Check thickness

The thickness of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A multifeed is detected by detecting changes in the thickness when more than one document is sent.

Check length

The length of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A multifeed is detected by detecting changes in the length when more than one document is sent.

Check thickness and length

The thickness and length of the transmitted document are checked.

Check overlapping

The overlapping of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A multifeed is detected by overlapping when more than one document is sent.

Check overlapping and length

The overlapping and length of the transmitted document are checked.

For example, the detection accuracy can be improved by using [Check thickness] or [Check overlapping] for continuous scanning of forms that have different lengths and [Check length] for scanning of forms that have different thicknesses.

Depending on scanner model, the selectable items are different. Refer to “Relevant Image Scanner Specification” of Appendix.
