Scanner settings: Rotation

Select the rotation of the document using the Rotate front and Rotate back buttons in the Scanner settings dialog.

In some situations, it can be advantageous or necessary to rotate a document during scanning. To do this:

  1. Note the direction in which the documents will be fed into the scanner.
  2. Click the Rotate front and Rotate back buttons until the desired rotation is achieved.

Example

The following examples show how to set the rotation button for documents depending on the side of the document that is fed into the scanner. In each example:

  • The blue arrows indicate the direction the documents are fed into the scanner.
  • The green arrow indicates the direction of readable text.

Normal scan feed example

Feed bottom into scanner

images\Rotation_ex_180_degrees.gif

In this example, the bottom of the documents is fed into the scanner

Click the rotation button two times.

Feed right side into scanner

images\Rotation_ex_270_degrees.gif

In this example, the right side of the documents is fed into the scanner.

If your scanner can handle documents this way, and you process a large quantity of documents, scanning time is decreased considerably.

Click the rotation button once.

Feed left side into scanner

images\Rotation_ex_90_degrees.gif

In this example, the left side of the documents is fed in to the scanner.

If your scanner can handle documents this way, and you process a large quantity of documents, scanning time is decreased considerably.

Click the rotation button three times.

Rotating images for two-sided invoices

You can rotate the back and front of two-sided documents individually. However, the settings must either be the same or the direct opposites (differ by 180 degrees):

images\Rotation_button_0_degrees.gif  +  images\Rotation_button_180_degrees.gif

or

images\Rotation_button_90_degrees.gif  +  images\Rotation_button_270_degrees.gif

Note The INI-file setting, AllowOtherPageSizeFromScanner, can be used to enable Auto Rotate in VRS for an A4 scanner. See INI file help for more information.
