Follow the steps below to enable Long Document Mode on the scanner.

Solution


By selecting the Long Document mode and setting the [Page size] in the scanner driver settings screen to auto-detection, documents of up to 5,5888 mm (220") can be scanned. Note the following when using the Long Document mode.
  • When scanning in the Long Document mode, if the document is placed on the scanner in a skewed position, it may hit the edges of the feeding area and be damaged. Be careful to place the documents so that it is not skewed..
  • When scanning with the Long Document mode, paper jam detection may react slowly, resulting in damage to the document. Be careful to avoid paper jams..
  • When scanning long documents, make sure to set the feed selection lever to "non separation feeding mode," and scan the documents one page at a time.
  • When scanning large-sized documents with the Long Document mode, scanning may be slower. Errors also occur due to memory shortage, and scanning may be disabled.
  • Be careful when scanning paper that is longer than A4 or letter (LTR) size or thin paper, as the documents may fall off of the eject tray after scanning.
  • The maximum length of documents that can be scanned in the Long Document mode varies depending on the scanning resolution.
