Scanning Documents in Multiple Batches to Create a Single Scanned Image
When you scan documents more than the amount that can be loaded in the ADF paper chute (cover) on the ScanSnap, if you divide the documents in multiple batches and scan them continuously, you can create a single scanned image that contains all of the documents.

Open the feed guide of the ScanSnap to turn the power on. Press the [Scan] button or [Stop] button on the ScanSnap to turn the power on.
Open the ADF paper chute (cover) fully so that the [Scan] button lights up in blue. When the ADF paper chute (cover) is opened, the extension will rise automatically.
