Correcting the Orientation of Scanned Images
In an office environment, it is often the case that a single batch contains same size documents
of different page orientations.
The ScanSnap is able to automatically rotate each scanned image to its correct orientation for
such document batches.
To rotate scanned images to their correct orientations, change the settings in the following
procedure.
1.
Select [Scan Button Settings] from the Right-Click Menu.
For details about the Right-Click Menu, refer to

The ScanSnap setup dialog box appears.
Since this option determines the document’s page orientation based on the character strings
printed on the document, the following types of documents may be rotated to the wrong
orientation.
