■ Correcting the Orientation of Scanned Images
In an office environment, it is often the case that a single batch contains same size documents
of different page orientations. Moreover, the reverse sides of double-sided documents in
calendar style are printed upside down.
The ScanSnap is able to automatically rotate each page to its correct orientation for such
document batches.
To rotate document pages to their correct orientations, change the settings by following the
procedure below.
1. Select [Scan Button Settings] from the Right-Click Menu.
Refer to "Right-Click Menu" (page 41) for more information about the Right-Click Menu.
D The ScanSnap setup dialog box appears.
This function determines document orientation based on the characters printed on the
document so it may not work properly for the following document types:
z Documents with many extremely large or small characters
z Documents on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters
are overlapped
z Documents with many characters contacting underlines or borders
z Documents with many photographs or figures and few characters
z Documents with characters on an unevenly colored background
e.g. Shaded characters
z Documents with many decorated characters
e.g. Decorated characters (embossed/outlined)
z Documents with characters on a patterned background

z Documents with characters printed in various directions such as drawings
z Documents written using only capital characters
z Documents including handwritten characters
