Reproducibility of the image data

Confirm that the image data scanned with the ScanSnap meets your requirements (for

example, image reproducibility in size accuracy, fidelity, content, colors).

zDepending on the status of the document (e.g. font, layout, blots) and the scanning res-

olution, text recognition may not be properly performed, or text recognition may take a

long time.

may not be accurately reproduced depending on the color and density, or may result in

a different color tone from the original. Depending on the color and the color density of

the highlight pen and the way it was used, the marked sections may not be detected, or

the keyword may not be properly set.

Disposing of the original document

Check the image data using the application where you transferred the image data to make

sure that there are no missing parts before disposing of the original document scanned with

the ScanSnap.
