5.1.2 Loading Documents Using a Carrier Sheet
With an optional Carrier Sheet, you can scan documents larger than A4 size, such as A3,
Double Letter, and B4. To do this, you fold the document in half and scan both sides
continuously in duplex mode, one side at a time. The scanned images will be merged and
saved as one image page.
When scanning a document larger than A4 size, change the settings as follows:
1. Fold the sheet to be scanned in half so that its front side faces outwards.
Fold the sheet tightly and smooth out the crease. Otherwise, the sheet may be
skewed during scanning.
2. Open the Carrier Sheet and insert the document.
Align the fold with the right edge of the Carrier Sheet so that the document fits into
the Carrier Sheet at the upper corner.
ATTENTION
When using a Carrier Sheet, set the output size for the scanned document. For details, refer
to
"5.9.5 Configuring Settings for a Carrier Sheet" (page 286)

You can merge both front and back side images of a document smaller than A4 size to output
