Feeding Documents Manually in the ADF
Documents can also be loaded manually one sheet at a time
in the ADF.
Normally, in automatic feeding, the scanner stops scanning
once all the documents loaded in the ADF paper chute
(feeder) have been scanned. In manual feeding, the scanner
waits for the next document to be loaded within a specified
time. Scanning will continue as long as another document is
loaded within the set time, and stops if no document is loaded.
By using this method, you can perform scanning as you check
the documents one by one.
Manual feeding is effective in the following cases.

together in the same batch.

clippings that cannot be loaded together.
