Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM Color Image Scanner.
ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM is a color image scanner and office applications. It is a complete office
solution designed to improve your productivity and to solve your office scanning problems. The
ScanSnap product has the following features.
■ Converting paper documents into PDFs by pressing a single botton!
You can turn the documents that clutter up your desktop into PDFs, and manage and
archive them on your computer.
The ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM can also automatically recognize the content of document, color or black & white, so scanned image files can be made smaller when scanning documents containing a mixture of color and black & white pages. You can also
have the scanner automatically remove blank pages in documents in order to further
reduce the size of files.
■ Effortless scanning!
The ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM can scan double-sided color documents of A4 or Letter
size at a speed of 15 sheets/minute (when Scanning quality is set to Normal (Fastest),
Color mode is set to Auto Color Detection, and Compression rate is set to 3). (*1)
■ Small desktop footprint!
Having a footprint smaller than the size of A4 or Letter paper, the ScanSnap scanner
can be left on your desk all the time.
(*1) - Depending on the document, the scanning speed may become slower in "B&W"
(Black&White) mode (due to the conversion of data scanned in color to
monochrome data).
Example: Scanning color brochures in "B&W" mode. Scanning quality: Normal
(Fastest), Compression rate: 3, about 12 sheets/minute.
- When "Allow automatic blank page removal" or "Allow automatic image deskew" is
enabled, scanning speed may become slower.
(*2) - ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM does not support the TWAIN and ISIS standards.
This document describes how to handle ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM and the basic operation methods.
Before you start using ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM, be sure to thoroughly read this manual to ensure
correct use.
ScanSnap fi-5110EOXM is referred to as ScanSnap hereafter in this document.

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) Align the edges of the document.
Aligh both edges of the document stack so it can be scanned correctly.
2) Check the number of sheets in the document stack.
As a guideline the maximum number of sheets that can be loaded on the scanner is
as follows:
- A4-size paper or smaller that makes a document stack of 0.2" (5 mm) or less (50
sheets at 64 g/m
2
or 17 lb)

ATTENTION
v
Before loading a stack of document onto the scanner, fan it as follows:
1) Separate the documents into stacks of 5 mm thick or less.
2) Hold both ends of the document stack, and bend the document stack 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.
Do not scan more than 50 sheets continuously. The file may not be
created due to the file size becoming too large.

About "Counter:"
• When there is no other file with the same name as the one specified at
"File Name:" in the save destination folder (specified on the [Save] tab),
the counter becomes 1 (001 in the case of three digits). From then on,
the counter is incremented by one upon saving a new file.
• When there is a file with the same name in the save destination folder,
the counter becomes the smallest unused number.
Example) When the files Scan01.pdf, Scan03.pdf, Scan04.pdf exist in
the folder, and the scanned image is saved to a file that has the same
name from then on, the files are saved as Scan02.pdf, Scan05.pdf,
Scan06.pdf, Scan07.pdf and so forth.
• When the specified number of digits is exceeded (for example, when
saving the 100th file when two digits are specified.), the number of
digits is incremented by one.

lines, or characters
■ Allow automatic image deskew.
This setting automatically detects skewed documents and corrects them for the output
data. Up to +-5 degrees of skews can be corrected.
ATTENTION
This function judges a document’s skew based on the characters on the
document. So the detection may not work properl y 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 charac te rs or similar fon t style s
• Documents with only a few characters
• Documents with many photographs or figures
• Documents with a background pattern behind the characters
• Documents with characters printed in various direction (e.g. plans, etc.)

ATTENTION
When "Automatic detection" is specified, the scanner automatically detects the
document size and selects an appropriate document size from the standard
sizes (except for custom document sizes) described in the previous page. Thus
there is no need to specify "Paper size" again to match the size of the loaded
document, which makes ScanSnap easier to use.
• When you select "Automatic detection" and load an A6 size document onto the
scanner, the document is scanned as "Post card" size.
• Do not load documents with different sizes simultaneously onto the scanner.
• When “Automatic detection” is selected, documents of non- st a ndard sizes are
also recognized and scanned as documents of a standard size (Letter , Legal,
A4, B5, A5, B6, Post card, or Business card), that is closest to their actual
length. To scan these types of documents in their original sizes, select "Custom" in "Paper size:" and then specify the document size in the dialog that
