2.2 Scanning Documents with different Widths

When you scan a stack of documents with different widths by using the ADF, the smaller sized
documents may be scanned skewed or the scanner may not pick them. Try to scan only documents
of the same width together.
However, if you need to scan a stack of documents with different widths, follow the procedure
below.

1. To prevent skewed images, select the [Automatic Page Size Detection] from the
"Automatic Size and Skew Detection". (For details, refer to "2.9 Correcting skewed
Documents" on page 50.)

2. Align the stack so that documents of a smaller width are placed in the center of the
stack.

3. Load the stack of documents onto the ADF paper chute and move the side guides so
that they contact both sides of the widest sheet.

ATTENTION

4. Scan the documents by refering to "1.3 Scanning Documents" on page 10.

When loading the stack of document onto the scanner, be sure that all
documents do contact the pick roller. If this is not the case, documents not
contacting the pick roller might not be fed into the scanner.

2.5 Saving scanned Images in PDF Format

To save scanned images in PDF format, Adobe Acrobat must be installed on your PC.
Adobe Acrobat can be installed from the provided Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM.
There are two methods for saving scanned images in PDF format.

1. Using ScandAll 21 (page 36)

This method is recommended for color or grayscale scanning and when a smaller PDF file
size is required.
Your benefits are :

• Reduced PDF data size

• Simplified method for creating PDF files with no troublesome operations

2. Using Adobe Acrobat (page 37)

This method is recommended for faster creation of PDF files and for black and white scan­ning.
Your benefits are :

• Quick creation of PDF files with the original scan resolution

• Flexibile creation of PDF files by changing the PDF compression rates

34

2.5 Saving scanned Images in PDF Format

The file size increases when scanning color documents by a default method. However, you can
drastically reduce the size by using the Acrobat Distiller before saving the file. For details, please
refer to the hints on page 40.

\

ATTENTION

Notes for using Adobe Acrobat

• Acrobat's default settings overrides the previous settings for "Resolution",

"Scan Type" and "Image Mode".

• The following functions cannot be used:

- "256 Color" or "8 Color"

- "Rotation Degree" selection when "End of Page Detection" is selected

- Long Page Scanning

• When scanning a paper document and converting the image to PDF

using Acrobat, unexpected images may be output when:

1. Setting "Edge Shadow Removal" in Acrobat, and setting "Digital
Endorser" or "Black Background" options in the TWAIN driver at the
same time. Letter strings embedded in the image or the background
may be missed.
Solution 1: Set "Edge shadow removal" to "OFF" or set any option
other than "Adaptive" for "Color/Grayscale" and/or "Monochrome"
under "Compression" by selecting [File] - [Create PDF] - [From Scan­ner…] - [Image Settings…] in Acrobat.
Solution 2: Adjust the scanning density in the TWAIN driver.

2. Setting "Adaptive" for "Color/Grayscale" and/or "Monochrome" under
"Compression" in Acrobat and scanning in a resolution lower than
the resolution recommended for Acrobat.
Solution: Set OPTION to something other than "Adaptive" under
"Compression."

3. Scanning a document longer than the double letter (11x17) or A3
size, when setting "Overscan" in the TWAIN driver, the scan may fail.
Solution: When scanning a double letter (11x17) or A3 size of docu­ment, do not set "Overscan" in TWAIN driver.

As for detailed usage and information of Acrobat, refer to "Create a PDF
file from a scanned document" in Acrobat Help.
