Dividing documents using blank sheets of paper

By placing blank sheets of paper between the pages of the document being scanned, you can divide the scanned data and save them in separate files or folders. When scanning both sides of a document, if one of the sides is blank, it is also detected as a blank page. After sorting, you can remove any unnecessary pages and then save.
