Specifying a file name ([File Name])
Rename a file of the scanned original data (using up to 30 characters).
When you do not change the file name, the file name is automatically assigned according to the rule of "Initial of the function" + "Device Name" + "Date" + "sequential number" + "Page Number" + "File extension". A file name consists of the following information:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Initial of the function | Indicates the mode used for scanning data.
|
Device Name | The name of this machine registered in [Machine Setting] - [Input Machine Address] - [Device Name]. |
Date | Indicates the year, month, day, hour, and minute when the original was scanned. For example "11050115230" means that the file was scanned on May 1, 2011, 15:23. The last digit (0) indicates the order when file conversion is performed multiple times in a certain minute. If file conversion is performed twice between 15:23 and 24, the last digit appears as 231 and 232. |
Sequential number | A sequential number is given when a multi-page original is converted by page, and the number indicates the page number of original data. Page numbers are automatically included in the file name when the file is saved or sent. Consider this part for FTP Send or other transmission when a FTP server has restrictions regarding file names. |
File extension | Extension of the file to be saved. An extension is automatically included in the file name when the file is saved or sent. |
The following characters may be garbled depending on the destination environment; therefore, we recommend that you do not use them in a file name.
< > : * ? " / \ |

Specifying the original size ([Scan Size])
When the size of the original is not detected correctly, specify the size of the original you want to scan. If the machine cannot detect the size of irregular sized originals or photos, manually specify the size.
Scanning originals of different sizes ([Mixed Original])
Even for an original with pages of different sizes, by using the ADF, you can scan data while detecting the size of each page. If the widths of the originals are the same, select [Same Width]. If the widths of the originals are different, select [Different Width].
Load all the original pages into the ADF so that the tops of the pages are at the back or left side of the machine.
Scanning an original that is thinner than plain paper ([Thin Paper Original])
When [Thin Paper Original] is specified to scan an original of thinner paper than plain paper using the ADF, the system reduces the original feed speed to prevent thin paper from causing a paper jam.
Scanning originals with folds ([Z-Folded Original])
If a folded original is loaded into the ADF, the original size may not be able be detected accurately. When [Z-Folded Original] is specified, the original size can be accurately detected even for the folded original sheets.
Unfold the folded original sheets before loading them into the ADF. If a folded original is not unfolded before scanning, a paper jam may occur or the size may not be correctly detected.
Scanning a long original ([Long Original])
Load a long original that cannot be placed on the Original Glass and that is larger in the feeding direction than the full standard size (11 17 or A3) into the ADF. When [Long Original] is selected, the ADF automatically detects the size even if you do not pre-specify the original size.
Specifying the original loading direction ([Original Direction])
When scanning a 2-sided original, specify the original loading direction so that the vertical direction of the scanned original is set correctly.
Specifying the original binding position ([Binding Position])
Specify the binding position to suit the orientation of the target original.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
[Auto] | Automatically configures the binding position of the original. When the long side of the original is 11-11/16 inches (297 mm) or less, the binding position is set to the long side of the paper. When the long side of the original exceeds 11-11/16 inches (297 mm), the binding position is set to the short side of the paper. |
[Left] | Select this option when the binding position is set to the left of the original. |
[Top Bind] | Select this option when the binding position is set to the top of the original. |
Scanning while removing dust in the Slit Scan Glass ([Despeckle])
When [Despeckle] is specified to scan an original using the ADF, scanning of original and dust removal from the Slit Scan Glass are performed alternately, so that the original is always scanned using clean Slit Scan Glass.
It takes longer to finish scanning compared to normal operation.
Skipping blank pages ([Blank Page Removal])
When [Blank Page Removal] is specified to scan an original including blank pages using the ADF, blank pages are excluded from scan targets. Blank pages detected are not counted as original pages.
Splitting the left and right pages of a book and catalog ([Book Original])
You can scan two-page spreads such as books and catalogs separately into left and right pages, or scan them as one page. If you place a book or catalog on the Original Glass, you do not need to close the ADF to scan it.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
[ON]/[OFF] | Select [ON] to specify Book Original. |
[Output Method] | Specify the method to scan a two-page spread.
|
[Binding Position] | If [Separation], [Front Cover] or [Front & Back Covers] is selected for [Output Method], select the two-page spread binding position. Select [Left Bind] for two-page spreads of left binding, and [Right Bind] for two-page spreads of right binding. Note that if the binding position is incorrectly specified, the page order of the two-page spread is reversed between the left- and right-hand pages. |
[Frame Erase] | Erases the shadow of the surrounding that is created when the original cover cannot be closed properly due to the thickness of the original. You can erase the four sides of the original to the same width. Additionally, you can erase the four sides of the original to different widths.
|
[Center Erase] | Specify the fold width to erase. This function erases the shadow created in the center when the original cover cannot be closed correctly due to the thickness of the original. |
Scanning a number of originals in several batches ([Separate Scan])
If the number of original sheets is so large that they cannot be loaded into the ADF at the same time, you can load them in several batches and handle them as one job. You can also scan the original using both ADF and Original Glass alternately.
Load the original.
Do not load more than 100 sheets (21-1/4 lb (80 g/m2)) at a time into the Original Tray of the ADF, and do not load the sheets up to the point where the top of the stack is higher than the
mark. Doing so may cause an original paper jam, original damage, or ADF failure.
