Detecting Multifeed Errors
Multifeed is an error where two or more sheets are fed through
the ADF at once. It is also called a multifeed when a different
document length is detected.
You can have an error message appear when a multifeed
occurs.
Settings for multifeed detection can be configured in the
scanner driver or the Software Operation Panel.
For details about this setting in the Software Operation Panel,
refer to

identify multifeeds according to the deviation of
the reflected ultrasonic waves.
Check length

identifies multifeeds according to the deviation of
detected lengths.
Note that multifeeds cannot be detected
accurately when scanning a mixed batch of
different sizes.
