Multi-Photo Scan(Scanning two or more photos at one time (No detailed settings))
When scanning two or more photos without having to specify in detail such things as the scanning area, use Multi-Photo Scan in Simple Mode. However, photos that have an overall whitish appearance or have a whitish border may not be cropped accurately. Also, documents other than photos (particularly documents printed on white paper, handwritten text, business cards etc.) may also not be cropped accurately.

Documents that are not aligned squarely will be corrected automatically, unless the image is out of square by more than 10 degrees.

The document is scanned in the 'Color Mode' of Color and at a Resolution of 300 dpi.

In the same way as Multi-Photo Scan, photos that have an overall whitish appearance or have a whitish border may not be cropped accurately. Also, documents other than photos (particularly documents printed on white paper, hand-written text, business cards etc.) may also not be cropped accurately.

Documents that are not aligned squarely will be corrected automatically, unless the image is out of square by more than 10 degrees.

Unlike Multi-Photo, Color Mode and Resolution can be set freely.
