Position a Stack of Documents
A stack of up to 100 documents can be fed in the Document Feed Tray of the Automatic
Document Feeder (ADF). Document sizes can range from 4.33” x 4.33” (110 mm x 110
mm) to 8.5” x 25” (215.9 mm x 635 mm).

better paper support if the length of the
originals exceeds 10 inches.

Document Feed Tray, with the side to
be scanned facing up. Push the stack
of papers into the tray until the paper's
edge touches the front edge of the
Document Feed Tray.

designed for scanning photos; doing so may
damage your originals. Microtek accepts no

from misuse of equipment.

Scan a Stack of Documents
1. Place the stack of documents to be scanned on the Document Feed Tray of the Auto
Document Feeder (ADF).
WARNING: Do not place photo paper or fragile sheets of paper on the feed tray, as doing this
will damage the original photo or frail papers during the feeding process. Always place frail
originals on the scanner glass surface, and choose “Flatbed” as your “scan source.”
2. Launch ScanWizard DI — either as a stand-alone by clicking the program icon, or by
using the File-Import or Scan command from an application program.
3. Specify your scanning requirements in the ScanWizard DI control panel.
a) Select ADF (Simplex) or ADF (Duplex) in the Scan Source drop-down menu as
your image input device.
b) Select the appropriate image type (e.g., Black & White) in the Scan Type drop-
down menu as your image output type.
– Select RGB Color (24 bits) to scan the image in color.
– Select Grayscale (8 bits) to scan the image in grayscale.

c) Select a dimension in the Paper Size drop-down menu as your preview image size.
d) Select a desired resolution in the Resolution drop-down menu for your image
output resolution.
e) If “Auto-crop & Auto-deskew” is selected, the scanner automatically detects the
size of the original image, crops the full scan frame to fit the image, and removes
unwanted black borders after the scan, as well as corrects the distorted image for
proper alignment.
f) If necessary, select a level of paper thickness for the ultrasonic double-feed
detection in the Double Feed drop-down menu.
4. Select the image type (e.g., Text) in the Attribute drop-down menu as your image
type.
– Select Line Art to scan line art images (images in one color or in black-and-white,
such as logos or mechanical blueprints).

delivered after the scan to your application, where the image can be saved,
printed, or modified further.
• If ScanWizard DI is launched as a stand-alone program, the scanned image can be
saved after the scan to a file or opened in an image-editing program.
Alternatively, click the Quick Scan button to scan your documents directly to a PDF.
NOTE: For details on other scanning scenarios applicable to the scanner, refer to the ArtixScan DI
4020 Plus/ArtixScan DI 2020 Plus User’s Manual.
