be accidentally recognized
as blank pages and removed
from scanned image data.

than +/-5 degrees?

Resolution
Right-click the ScanSnap Manager icon
on the taskbar, select [Setting]
[Scanning] tab and click the [Option]
button. Then clear the [Allow automatic
blank page removal] checkbox.
The [Correct skewed character strings
automatically] function can correct
skewed images up to +/-5 degrees. See
"- Correct skewed character strings
automatically" (page 60).
Load the document onto the scanner so
that the document skew does not exceed
this limit. See "3.3 Loading Documents"
(page 40).
Refer to [Correct skewed character
strings automatically]. See "- Correct
skewed character strings automatically"
(page 60).
Refer to [Allow automatic image rotation.]
(See "- Allow automatic image rotation"
(page 61).)
When small letters are squashed, right-
click the ScanSnap Manager icon on the
taskbar and select [Best] or [Excellent] in
the [Scanning] tab and scan them again.
(It takes longer to scan image data in
[Excellent] mode as it enlarges the size
of image data.)
To create a profile with settings you want
to use, uncheck [Use Quick Menu] and
switch to Left-Click Menu Mode.
See section "4.3 Saving Scanning
Settings" (page 70).
Clean the dirty locations. When scanning
a document that is hard to feed, load it
sheet by sheet.
