Specifying a Multifeed Detection Method
[Multifeed]
Multifeed is an error where two or more sheets are fed through
the ADF at once. When a different document length is
detected, this detected result is also called a multifeed.
Not noticing multifeed errors while scanning may put you in a
situation where important data are missing from the scanned
images.
Multifeed detection can be used to prevent such troubles.
When this function is enabled, an error message is displayed
as soon as it detects a multifeed, and stops the scan. Note
that multifeed cannot be detected within 30 mm from the
leading edge of the document.
