Description
Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger than A3 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. To use this function, fold the document in half lengthwise and place it into the feeder. The scanner will scan both sides and combine the scanned images into a single image.
Solution
Open the scanner driver's setting screen.
Set [Page Size] on the [Basic] tab to a size that is half that of the paper to be actually scanned, and set [Scanning Side] to [Folio]. For example, when scanning a document of A2 size folded, set [Page Size] to [A3].
When [Scanning Side] is set to [Folio], [Detect by Ultrasonic] in the [Error Detection] tab sheet - [Double Feed Detection] is automatically turned off.
Set [feeding Option] on the [Feeding] tab to [Manual Feeding].
Click the [OK] button to close the settings screen.
Fold the document in half.
Crease the document firmly down its center to fold the document in half. Fold the document so that its edges are neatly aligned. If the document is not folded properly, paper jams may occur or distortions may appear in the combined scanned image.
A portion of the scanned image will be missing at the fold line.
Place the document with the folded edge facing right.
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. Otherwise, the image may scan as skewed or shifted.
The scanned image of the front side becomes the left half of the recombined image.
The maximum size for combined images is A2. Use this method to scan A2-sized documents. When scanning a folded document of a size other than the standard formats, set [Page Size] on the scanner driver settings screen to [Match original size].
