Scanning mixed size documents

EPSON Scan enables you to easily scan documents of different sizes using the Automatic Document Feeder. It recognizes each size of the original documents and then scans them while keeping the original sizes.

Note:
  • Depending on the application, you may not be able to scan multiple images.
  • If document sizes are mixed, all edges of the documents must be aligned at the entrance of the documents.
  • This feature is only available in the following situations:
    In the Office Mode:
    Auto Detect must be selected for Document Size, and scanning must be done without previewing.
    In the Professional Mode:
    Scanning must be done without previewing.

Load the documents in the Automatic Document Feeder.

Start EPSON Scan.

Choose the Office Mode or Professional Mode from the list box at the top right of the window. We recommend the Office Mode.

In the EPSON Scan main window, make sure that Auto Detect is selected from the Document Source list.

Choose the appropriate settings for scanning.

Click Scan.
The scanned images are sent to the application or saved in the specified folder.

Scanning part of a page or pages

To scan only a part of a page or pages, follow the steps below.

Load the document in the Automatic Document Feeder.

Start EPSON Scan.

Choose the Office Mode or Professional Mode from the list box at the top right of the window. We recommend the Office Mode.

In the EPSON Scan main window, make sure that ADF is selected from the Document Source list.

Click Preview. The document is ejected after previewing.

Note:
The second page will be fed immediately after the first page is scanned, and then ejected without being scanned.

Draw a marquee (a frame to define the part of the image you want to scan) by dragging the mouse pointer over that area.

Place documents in the Automatic Document Feeder, including the ejected documents.

Choose your settings and then click Scan. All documents are scanned automatically.
The scanned images are sent to the application or saved in the specified folder.
