This section explains how to enter a destination from the initial screen of easy mode.
EASY MODE

AUTOMATICALLY SCANNING BOTH SIDES OF AN ORIGINAL (2-Sided Original)

The automatic document feeder will automatically scan both sides of the document.
For example, a 2-sided original can be scanned, and its front and back sides can be sent as 2 pages.

  • 2-sided scanning is not possible when direct transmission or speaker transmission is performed.
  • On the BP-50M26 / BP-50M31 / BP-50M36 / BP-50M45, duplex scanning is not possible when originals of mixed width are scanned.
  • You cannot use 2-sided scanning when the original size is set to Long Size.
  • 2-sided scanning is not possible when "Settings (administrator)" - [System Settings] → [Common Settings] → [Device Control] → [Condition Settings] or [Enable/Disable Settings] → [Disabling of Document Feeder] is enabled.
2-sided scanning automatically turns off after transmission has ended.

In the above screen, the scan size (the placed original) is A4 (8-1/2" x 11") and the send size is auto. For example, if the scan size is A4 (8-1/2" x 11") and the send size is B5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2"), the image will be reduced before transmission.
