1. Introduction
Features
This section describes the features of this scanner.
Ultra-fast scanning
When scanning A4K (8½” × 11”K), monochrome at 200dpi, this scanner can scan 55 (57)
images/minute. When scanning A4K (8½” × 11”K), monochrome at 400dpi, this scanner can
scan 31 (32) images/minute. During double-sided scanning, when scanning A4K (8½” ×
11”K), monochrome at 200dpi, this scanner can scan 86 (88) images/minute.
* When using the Auto Document Feeder (ADF) in binary scanning, these speeds apply to
the second and subsequent sheets.
Simultaneous scanning of both sides of a document (Duplex
Model only)
If a document consists of individual, separate sheets, both sides of each sheet can be scanned
simultaneously. This capability eliminates the bother of having to flip document sheets over .
Direct operation using the buttons on the scanner
(Manual Scanning function)
If using a driver that supports the Manual Scanning function, scanning can be initiated by
pressing the {Start} button on the scanner . This function is useful when scanning a document
that needs to be set in place for each scan.
Large 150-sheet paper capacity
Up to 150 sheets* can be placed in the scanner’s Auto Document Feeder (ADF).
* A4 (64g/m2) or 8½” × 11” (20lb)
Printing on scanned documents (optional)
The Endorser Unit Type A is provided as an optional mechanism that prints a symbol or the
number of documents that have been scanned by the Auto Document Feeder (ADF). This
capability is useful for referencing scanned data or confirming that a document has been scanned.

1. Introduction
Space-saving design
This scanner is designed in a “wingless” style, in which there are no protruding elements, such as
a document tray. This design allows the scanner to be set up next to a wall, and permits of fice
space to be used more effectively .
Supports both TWAIN and ISIS
The scanner supports both the standard TWAIN and the new er ISIS driver , allowing the scanner
to function with a wide range of software.
