6.1.2 Loading Documents Using a Carrier Sheet
With an optional carrier sheet, you can scan documents larger than A4 size, such as A3,
Double Letter, and B4. To do this, you fold the document in half and scan both sides
continuously in duplex mode, one side at a time. The scanned images will be merged and
saved as one image page.
When scanning a document larger than A4 size, change the settings as follows:
1. Fold the sheet to be scanned in half so that its front side faces outwards.
Fold the sheet tightly and smooth out the crease. Otherwise, the sheet may be
skewed during scanning.
z When using a carrier sheet, set the size of the scanned document to be output. For
more details, refer to "6.9.1 Carrier Sheet" (page 362).
z When a carrier sheet is used for scanning, load and scan one page at a time.
Continuous scanning is not possible even when multiple document sheets are
loaded.
You can merge both front and back side images of a document smaller than A4 size
to output a single double-page image.
