Rotating a Scanned Image to Its Correct Orientation
The ScanSnap is able to rotate each scanned image automatically or to a specified orientation.
In an office environment, it is often the case that a single batch contains same size documents of
different text orientations. Automatic detection of the text orientation is useful for such a document
batch.
To rotate the orientation of scanned images, select [Image rotation] in the [Scanning] tab of the
ScanSnap setup window.
ATTENTION
In the case of SV600, if you select [Select later] from [Document type] in the [Paper] tab of the
ScanSnap setup window to scan a document and then select [Double-page spread (Book/Magazine)]
in the [ScanSnap Manager - Image scanning and file saving] window, the scanned image is not rotated
automatically to its correct orientation.
ATTENTION
The correct orientation of the scanned image is determined by the character strings printed on the
document. Therefore, the scanned images for the following types of documents may not rotate when
[Automatic] is selected for [Image rotation].
In this case, do not select [Automatic].
l
Documents with many extremely large or small characters
l
Documents on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters are
overlapped
l
Documents with many characters contacting underlines or borders
l
Documents with many images (such as photographs and figures) and few characters
l
Documents with characters on an unevenly colored background
Example: Shaded characters
l
Documents with many decorated characters
Example: Decorated characters (embossed/outlined)
