Placing Multiple Originals at Once

When scanning from the scanner glass, you can scan multiple originals at once without having to scan them one by one. They are automatically cropped into separate images and saved. This feature supports not only standard-sized originals but also irregularly shaped items such as receipts, invoices, and photos of various sizes.

Note:

When scanning thick originals, make sure that exterior light, such as from lamps or other sources, does not shine directly onto the scanner glass. Auto image cropping may fail.

  1. Open the document cover.

  2. Place each original face down on the scanner glass. Place the originals so that they meet the following requirements.

    • Keep each original away from the edges of the scanner glass by the following distances:
      • Top: 6 mm (0.24 in.)
      • Left: 6 mm (0.24 in.)
      • Right: 12 mm (0.47 in.)
      • Bottom: 20 mm (0.79 in.)
    • Leave a gap of at least 20 mm (0.79 in.) between each original.
    • The originals must be at least 20×20 mm (0.79×0.79 in.) in size.

  3. Close the document cover gently so that your original does not move.

When scanning, set Document Size to Auto Detect in the Scan Settings.

  • When using Document Capture Pro/Document Capture: Set Document Size to Auto Detect on the Scan Settings screen.

  • When using Epson Scan 2: In Main Settings, set Document Size to Auto Detect. When previewing, the entire scannable area is displayed. We recommend scanning with Add or edit pages after scanning selected and checking the scanned image on the editing screen before saving.
