2.4 Performing Continuous Scan From the Flatbed

If your scanner comes with a flatbed module, Button Manager provides you a convenient feature to perform continuous (multi-page) scan from the flatbed. Simply inserting next page of your document and then pressing the Scan button, your multi-page scan from the flatbed can be completed. This feature is particularly useful when you need to scan inside pages of a book.
To perform continuous scan from the flatbed,
1. Open the document cover.
2. Place your document with the text facing down on the glass.
Make sure that the upper left corner of your document is near the home position as marked by arrow.

format to be PDF, TIFF, or DjVu.

source. If your scanner is equipped with both the auto document feeder and the flatbed, the scanner can automatically set your scan source whenever there is paper on the source. However, if there is paper on both the auto document feeder and the flatbed, the scanner will set auto document feeder to be the scan source.

perform “automatic crop” and “deskew” for the scanned image. However, the “Multi-feed Detection” and “Duplex” functions will be disabled.
