Description

Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger than LTR/A4 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

  1. Set the feed selection lever and the eject select lever.
    Set the feed selection lever to the non separation position (upper position). The feed selection indicator will light orange.
    Set the eject selection lever to the straight path position.
     
  2. Fold the document in half.
    Align the left and right sides of the document, and crease the document firmly. If the document is not folded properly, paper james may occur or distortions may appear in the combined image.


    A portion of the scanned image will be missing at the fold line.
     
  3. Place the document in the document feed tray.
    Under default conditions, place the document with the folded edge facing right. If the [Upside-down feeding] check box is selected in the scanner drivers settings, place the document with the folded edge facing left.



    Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. Otherwise, the image may scan skewed or shifted.


    - The side of the folded document that is facing forward will be the left side of the combined image.
    - The maximum size for the combined image is A2.
     
  4. Configure scanning conditions as follows when scanning folded documents.

    Set the scanning condition for folded documents in the Advanced settings dialog box of the scanner driver. You cannot set the condition by CaptureOnTouch.

    Windows
    Configure the following settings in the [Basic] tab:
    - Set [Page Size] to half the size of the document (set [Match original size] when scanning an atypical document size.
    - Set [Scanning Side] to [Folio].

    Mac (OS X)
    Configure the following settings:
    -Set [Page Size] to half the size of the document (set to [Detect automatically] when scanning an atypical document size).
    - Set [Scanning Side] to [Folio].
