Introduction
High-speed Double Sided Scanning
This scanner can scan documents at high speed, regardless of the image type (monochrome / color).
Background Color Switch Function
Using the software, you can switch the background color of scanned images between white and black.
Double Feed Detection Function
This scanner contains an ultrasonic sensor for the detection of double feeding. Double feeding can be
detected even if you scan documents that contain paper of various thicknesses.
Double Feed Skip (DFS) Function
If scanning has been stopped because a double feed was detected, you can easily resume scanning by
pressing the Skip button. When you scan documents that include items that you do not want to be detected as double feeding (for example, documents that have receipts attached, envelopes, etc.), the double feed detection function can be enabled and still scan these documents.
Push Scan
This scanner has a push scan function for starting scanning without operation through a computer.
Scanning is started by selecting from settings that have been registered in advance with the cursor button, and then pressing the scanner’s OK button*1 or Start/Stop button*2. This scanner also has a function that starts scanning when you place documents on the feed tray (Touch Free Scanning).

Bound documents can be scanned by setting the manual feed selector to manual scanning (Manual).
Other Features
The paper feed path can be opened widely to easily remove jammed paper and perform maintenance.
