Placing Originals

To correctly display the top/bottom orientation of the scanned original on a client computer, the placement of the original and the settings made on the control panel must match.

Place originals correctly by referring to the following table:

Note

  • Originals are normally rectangular (Illustration of an original) or horizontally long (Illustration of an original). However, the table above uses squares to make original orientation easier to understand. Even if the actual shape of the original is different, the combination of original orientation and the orientation specified on the scanner driver does not change.

  • When you specify full color, gray scale, or [Auto Colour Select] for Scan Type, and single page TIFF/JPEG or multi-page TIFF is selected as the file type, refer to the table below for how to place originals. Originals placed in orientations that are not recommended in the table might appear incorrectly top/bottom oriented on client computer displays.
