Basic Scanner Operations
ATTENTION
• To prevent the rollers from getting dirty, avoid scanning documents containing
large areas written or filled with pencil. If the scanning of such documents is
inevitable, clean the rollers more frequently. For details refer to "6.2 Cleaning
the Scanner Exterior" (page 135).
• Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may harm the Pad ASSY
or rollers (e.g. Pick roller) when documents are fed. Pay attention to the following:
- Clean the Pad ASSY or rollers as frequently as possible.
- The service life of the scanner may be shortened compared with the case of
scanning woodfree paper.
ScanSnap fi-5110EOX2 Operator's Guide 31
Page 50
Also, pay attention to the following when you use the Carrier Sheet.
ATTENTION
• Use only the Carrier Sheet for ScanSnap.
• Avoid writing, coloring, staining or cutting the black and white pattern part of
the Carrier Sheet. Otherwise, the scanner cannot recognize the Carrier Sheet
correctly.
• Load the Carrier Sheet one by one on the scanner.
• Do not place the Carrier Sheet upside-down on the scanner. Otherwise, a
paper jam may happen, or the Carrier Sheet may be damaged.
• Do not leave a document on the Carrier Sheet for a long period of time. The
ink may be transferred onto the Carrier Sheet.
• Do not leave the Carrier Sheet in high-temperature places such as a place fac-
ing direct sunlight or near a heating apparatus for a long period of time. Also,
do not use the Carrier Sheet under a high-temperature environment. Otherwise, it may warp.
• Do not bend, twist, or pull the Carrier Sheet forcibly.
• Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet. Otherwise, the scanner may be
damaged or malfunction.
• To avoid warping the Carrier Sheet, keep it in a horizontal place where it is not
weighed down, if possible.
• Do not rub the edge of the Carrier Sheet with your finger. Otherwise, your fin-
ger may get cut.

3.3 Loading Documents
Back
This section describes how to load documents onto the scanner.
■ How to load documents
1. Align the edges of the document.
Align the edges of the document as follows:
1) Straighten the edges of the document.
Straighten both edges of the document stack for scanning it correctly.
2) Check the number of the sheets in the document stack.
The standard number of sheets that can be loaded on the scanner is as follows:
For A4-size paper or smaller, a document stack of 5 mm or less (50 sheets at 64
2
g/m
or at 17 lb).
3.3 Loading Documents

Basic Scanner Operations
HINT
To prevent paper jams, fan the document as follows:
1) Take out the stack of documents of thickness 5 mm or less.
2) Hold both ends of the document with both hands, and bend the documents into an
arch.
Scanning accuracy increases when
the document is loaded onto the
scanner so that the leading edges
of the papers form a step-like pattern as shown in the figure.
For the picture on the top-right, if the check box is selected on "Allow
documents to be scanned face up through the ADF" of "Option" of
the "Scanning" tab on "Scan and Save Settings", the document faces
up and scanning the bottom edge becomes the scanning direction.

■ Loading Documents with the Carrier Sheet
The Carrier Sheet is a sheet for loading document specifically designed for ScanSnap fi5110EOX2.
The Carrier Sheet allows you to scan documents that cannot be scanned as it is; a document larger
than A4 up to A3, B4 or 11 x 17 (single side) can be scanned by folding it in two, inserting it into
the Carrier Sheet and scanning in duplex mode.
Also, using the Carrier Sheet, you can scan documents that can be easily scratched such as photographs or irregular-shaped documents that are difficult to load on the scanner such as clippings of
information (magazine, newspaper, etc.).
The following explains how to insert documents into the Carrier Sheet.
There are 2 [Modes], tailored to the type of document to be scanned, in the Carrier Sheet
settings.
3.3 Loading Documents

separately
ATTENTION
• When you use the Carrier Sheet, select [Automatic Detection] on the
setting of the [Paper size] tab in "ScanSnap Manager".
Also, if scanning is done using "Create facing pages in one image", select
"Duplex Scan" on the setting of [Scanning] tab in "ScanSnap Manager". If
you select "Simplex Scan", it produces the same result as using "Create
front and back images separately" to scan in simplex.
Refer to [3.6 Changing the Carrier Sheet Settings] (page 74) for details on
changing the "Carrier Sheet" Settings.
• If you are using the Carrier Sheet for scanning, it is not possible to scan
multiple sheets continuously. Load the sheets one by one and scan.
This mode is for scanning photographs which you do
not want to scratch, or documents of irregular size
such as clippings of information that are difficult to
load and scan directly on the scanner.
Outputs the scanned image in specified sizes.

6. Spread the page to be scanned facing outwards and fold it in half from the center.
Fold it neatly so that the folded portion does not appear puffed. If the folded portion is not
folded neatly, it may cause skewing.
7. Open the Carrier Sheet and place the document inside.
Align the top of the document to the top of
the Carrier Sheet, and the folded
portion to the top-right corner closely.
8. Load the Carrier Sheet onto the scanner.
• Place the top of the sheet with the black
& white printed pattern downwards and
load it in the direction of the arrow.
• When you load the Carrier Sheet, adjust
the side guides so that it will not skew.
• If you are using the Carrier Sheet for
scanning, it is not possible to scan
multiple sheets continuously. Load the
sheets one by one and scan.

9. Press the [SCAN] button.
⇒ The front and back image data are set in a facing-page state and generated side by side.
ATTENTION
There may be a gap in the joined portion, or a line may appear in the output
image.
Also, if you are scanning a thick document, the image has a tendency to
skew in such a way that the upper portions tilt towards each other at the
joined area.
In these situations, the skew is caused by how the document is folded, or
the loading method.
In this case, check the following. The situation may be improved.
• Is the document neatly folded?
• Is the edge of the document aligned closely to the edge of the Carrier
Sheet?
• Load the Carrier Sheet by turning the front side back.
In the "Carrier Sheet Settings" window, when "Automatic Detection" in
"Output image size" is selected, the generated image size may be smaller
than the document.
(The smallest size big enough to include all the data on the document is
selected from among A3, B4 and 11 x 17)
Example: If content printed as A4 size in the center of an A3 document is
scanned,
=> it is generated in B4 size.
To output an image that is the same size as the document size, set the
document size in [Output image size].

folder, and the scanned images are saved to files having the same "file
name:" (i.e. "scan") prefix, Scan02.pdf, Scan05.pdf, Scan06.pdf,
Scan07.pdf and so forth.
• When the specified number of digits is exceeded (for example, when
saving the 100 th file when two digits are specified.), the number of digits is incremented by one.

■ Allow automatic blank page removal.
This setting automatically detects blank pages in the document stack and automatically
removes them from the output.
For example, when a stack of documents containing both two-sided and one-sided
documents is scanned in Duplex mode, this feature removes only the back sides (i.e.
blank pages) of one-sided documents from the output images.
* No scanned images are output if all of the sheets in the document stack are rec-
ognized as blank pages.
ATTENTION
Following documents may be accidentally recognized as blank pages:
• Almost blank documents containing only a few characters
• Document of only one color (including black) and without any patterns,
lines, or characters
■ Allow automatic image deskew.
This setting automatically detects skewed documents and correct them for the output
data. Up to +-5 degrees of skews can be corrected.
ATTENTION
This function judges a document skew based on the characters on the
document. So the detection may not work properly for the following kinds
of documents:
• Documents on which the pitches of lines or characters are extremely
narrow, or characters are overlapped
• Documents which have many outline characters or using font styles like
that
• Documents with many photographs or figures and only a few characters
• Documents with a background pattern behind the characters
• Documents with characters printed in various direction (e.g. plans, etc.)
• Documents with long diagonal lines
• Documents with handwritten characters
*When you scan such documents, clear the check box.

[Compression] tab
■ Compression rate:
Control the compression rate to specify the size of the file for the scanned image.
The compression rate is controlled by moving the slider.
The larger the compression rate number is specified, the higher the compression rate is
set and the smaller the file size becomes.
ATTENTION
When the compression rate is increased, the quality of scanned images
deteriorates.
■ Enable High Compression:
When this check box is selected, the compression rate increases compared to the
ordinary compression method and the file sizes becomes even smaller.
ATTENTION
This function compresses characters and backgrounds on the
document separately. So using this function on the document which
mostly contains text characters, the file size becomes smaller while
keeping the quality of the characters as they are. Meanwhile, this function is not appropriate for scanning photographs or figures, because
such drawings are recognized as background and compressed as
such, so the qualities of such images will deteriorate.

Mode
Specifies the scanning method when you use the Carrier Sheet for scanning.
These are the following two modes.
•Create facing pages in one image
Scans a document folded in two, in duplex mode and outputs an image of
facing pages joining the front and back images together. This mode is for
scanning a document larger than A4 size, such as A3/B4/11 x 17.
•Create front and back images separately
Outputs a cropped image which fits the size of the scanned document.
This mode is for inserting and scanning documents such as photographs
which you do not want to scratch, or documents of irregular size such as
clippings of information that are difficult to load and scan directly on the
scanner, in the Carrier Sheet.
If both sides are scanned, the front and back images are generated
separately.

ATTENTION
• If you specify [Automatic Detection] on [Output image size], the size of the
scanned document is automatically determined among the standard sizes
(other than Custom and Carrier Sheet Size) described in the above table.
There is no need to respecfiy an [Output image size] to fit the loaded document for that reason.
• If you specify [Carrier Sheet size] on [Output image size], the scanned
image is generated in the Carrier Sheet size. After scanning, you can trim
the image to your preferred size with applications such as Adobe Acrobat
7.0.
To trim the image using Adobe Acrobat 7.0, from the menu bar, select
[Tools] -> [Advanced Editing] -> [Crop tool], and double-click the selected
area for the necessary image portion.
• If you specify [Automatic Detection] on [Output image size] to scan a
document which size is not among the possible scan sizes on the above
table, the scanned image is bigger than the document size as well as
nearest to the fixed size
If you want to scan a document in its size, create a document size at the
[Custom] button, and select that size on [Output image size].
• If you specify [Automatic Detection] on [Output image size], the
generated size may be bigger than that of the scanned document. In this
case, carry out the following operation.
- Insert the document into the Carrier Sheet straight.
- When you load the Carrier Sheet onto the scanner, use the side guides
to secure the Carrier Sheet.
If the situation does not improve with the above methods, specify the size
of the document on [Output image size].
