screen of the scanner without having to connecting to a computer.

High speed scanning

The scanner has achieved a scanning speed of 40 ppm/80 ipm (*1). Furthermore, up to 50 sheets of
documents (*2) can be loaded for continuous scanning which enables you to quickly digitize a
large volume of documents.

.

Touch screen

The scanner has a 4.3-inch TFT color touch screen which enables you to operate the scanner with
simple actions such as seeing and touching.
The touch screen enables you to configure the scanner settings, scan documents, and check the
number of sheets scanned or the error status with ease.

Capable of scanning documents folded in half, envelopes, multi-layered transfer paper

In order to scan documents folded in half, envelopes, and multi-layered transfer paper, you can
switch the feed mode to Manual Single Mode.
Switching the mode to Manual Single Mode reduces the load on a document being fed so that
papers that constitute the document are not separated and scanned successfully.

Improved efficiency for pre-scan work

The scanner can perform "mixed batch scanning" which allows you to scan documents with
different paper weights, sizes, and types at once.
This simplifies the process of sorting the documents before scanning.
