The automatic document feeder is used to automatically scan both sides of an original.

The settings on 2-sided scanning are cleared when transmission has completed.

You cannot use 2-Sided scanning when the original size is set to Long Size.
On the BP-50M26/BP-50M31/BP-50M36/BP-50M45, duplex scanning is not possible when originals of mixed width are scanned.
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.

After tapping the [Original] key, tap the [Book] or [Tablet] key.

When the original is placed, its size is automatically detected.
In normal mode, the size of the placed original is indicated as the "Scan Size", and the size to be transmitted is indicated as the "Send Size".

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

Only standard original sizes can be automatically detected.

How to select the original type (Scan mode, Data entry mode)

Setup Items		Description

Specify the resolution setting.

How to select the resolution

For normal text originals, 200 x 200 dpi produces an image that is sufficiently legible.
For photos and illustrations, a high resolution setting (600 x 600 dpi, etc.) will produce a sharp image.
However, a high resolution setting will result in a large file, and if the file is too large, transmission may not be possible. In this event, reduce the number of pages scanned or take other measures to decrease the file size.

The file format for sending a scanned image is specified when the destination is stored in a one-touch key; however, you can change the format at the time of transmission.
If [PDF/Encry.] is specified for the file format, the password entry screen appears when scanning. Enter a password with up to 32 characters.

Note the following when [PDF/High] is specified in the [Color/Grayscale] file format. (On the BP-50M26/BP-50M31/BP-50M36/BP-50M45/BP-50M55/BP-50M65, this only appears when the Enhanced compression kit is installed.)

When broadcasting to an address with [PDF/High] specified, all files for the scanner will be sent as Compact PDF files.
When broadcasting to an address with [PDF/High] and [PDF/Compact/U-Fine] specified, all files for the scanner will be sent as Compact PDF (Ultra Fine) files.
If [PDF/High] is specified, the resolution cannot be changed in the scanner mode. The resolution set in "Compact PDF Resolution Setting" in system settings is set.
If [PDF/High] is set when a resolution setting has been specified in scanner (or other) mode, the resolution setting will be canceled and the Compact PDF resolution will be used for transmission.
When [PDF/High] is selected, [Resolution] cannot be changed while waiting for the next original or in [Change Setting] in the job build settings.
If [PDF/High] is set when an original type setting has been specified in scanner (or other) mode, [Photo] will change to [Text/Photo] and [Map] will change to [Text/Printed Photo].
The condition of the original may prevent the OCR function from correctly recognizing some characters and graphics, and omissions or incorrect recognition of characters may result.*
The OCR function is not guaranteed to completely reproduce all characters, graphics, or other contents of a scanned original. *

Flate Compression
After compressing a PDF file by JPEG compression, this function compresses the file by lossless compression to further reduce the file size by a small amount. When the data contains significant solid color, this increases the effectiveness of compression.
When sending a PDF file, Flate Compression enables greater reduction of the file size than conventional methods.
If the recipient's PDF viewer does not support Flate Compression, the recipient may not be able to view the PDF file. In this case, Flate Compression can be disabled.

To enable Flate Compression
Enable or disable Flate Compression in [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Scan Settings] → [Condition Settings] → [PDF Compression Options] in "Settings (administrator)".
