Description

Learn how to scan multiple photos placed on the platen (scanner glass) when using IJ Scan Utility for Windows.

Solution

You can scan two or more photos (small items) placed on the platen (scanner glass) at one time and save each image individually.

 The following types of items may not be scanned correctly. In that case, adjust the cropping frames (scan areas) in whole image view of ScanGear (scanner driver), and then scan again.

  • Photos with a whitish background

  • Items printed on white paper, hand-written text, business cards, and other unclear items

  • Thin items

  • Thick items

 

Using Auto Scan:

Whether there are multiple items or not is detected automatically. Click Auto in the IJ Scan Utility main screen and scan.

 

Not Using Auto Scan:

In the Settings dialog box, set Paper Size to Auto scan and scan.

 The screens for scanning with favorite settings are used as examples in the following descriptions.
