Scanning Multi-Page Documents

FineReader features a special scanning mode for convenient multi-page document scanning: Scan Multiple Images. You may scan as many pages as you wish in this mode. However, note the following:

If you scan your images using the FineReader TWAIN interface, scanning will be continuous. Once the application has completed scanning one page, it will automatically start scanning the next.
If you scan your images using the TWAIN-Source interface, the TWAIN dialog of the scanner will not close once a page has been scanned, and the next page can be placed onto the scanner immediately.

If you have a large number of pages to scan, there are two ways in which you can do this: using a scanner with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or one without.

ADF Scanning:

If you are using the FineReader interface, select the Use ADF option in the Scanner Settings dialog (menu Tools>Scanner Settings) and then select File>Scan Multiple Images to start scanning multiple images.
If you are using the TWAIN-Source interface, select the Use ADF option in the TWAIN dialog of your scanner (keep in mind that this option may be named differently depending on the scanner model used; consult your scanner documentation for the exact procedure) and then select File>Scan Multiple Images to start scanning.

Non-ADF Scanning

If you are using the FineReader interface

Select the Scan Multiple Images item in the File menu

If you are using a flatbed scanner without an ADF, to increase productivity try using one of the following two methods:

Set a pause value i.e. the time that is to elapse between the scanning of one page and the next. Select the Pause between pages option and then set the pause value (in seconds) in the Scanner Settings dialog (Tools>Scanner Settings menu). As a result, the scanner won't begin scanning the next page until the specified number of seconds has elapsed, thus allowing you sufficient time to place the next page onto the scanner. After the pause, scanning continues automatically.
Select the Stop between pages option in the Scanner Settings dialog (Tools>Scanner Settings menu). As a result each time scanning of a page is complete, a dialog asking you if you wish to continue scanning will appear. Click the Yes button to continue scanning or No to finish scanning.

When you have finished scanning your pages, select the Stop scanning item in the File menu.

If you are using the TWAIN-Source interface

Select the Scan Multiple Images item in the File menu. The TWAIN dialog of your scanner will open. Click the Scan (Final, or other) button to start scanning.

Scan your page, insert another page into your scanner and click the Scan button in the TWAIN dialog of your scanner to continue scanning.
When you have finished scanning your pages, click the Close or other scanner-specific button in the TWAIN dialog of your scanner.

Tip: To have greater control over the quality of your scanned images, select the Open image during scanning option on the Scanning tab (Tools>Options). As a result, each scanned page will be opened in the Image window immediately after it has been scanned. If you believe the image has been scanned incorrectly, halt the scanning process (click on Stop Scanning in the File menu) and re-scan the image.
