Paper Pickup Options
The Paper pickup options allow you to choose how the scanner responds when a page is inserted into the scanner.
•Delay—this is the amount of time between when the paper sensor is engaged and the rollers start to feed the 
page into the scanner. When the TWAIN interface is open, or when automatic scanning is disabled, the page is 
pre-fed and then the scanner waits until you click Scan in the interface before it will continue to feed and scan 
the page. When automatic scanning is enabled and the TWAIN interface is closed, the scanner will 
automatically feed and scan the page using the settings in OneTouch. 
Increasing the delay time allows you to make sure the page is in straight before the scanner starts to feed it 
through.  If the delay time is 0 ms (milliseconds), the scanner starts as soon as the paper sensor detects that a 
page has been inserted. You can set the delay time between 0 milliseconds (no delay) and 1250 milliseconds 
(1.25 seconds).
Note that automatic scanning is only available when OneTouch is installed. Please refer to the Application 
Settings section for instructions to enable or disable automatic scanning.
•Insertion depth—this is how far into the scanner the page is pre-fed after the paper sensor has been 
engaged.
Skew Detection
By default, the scanner is set to detect when the item being scanned is at an angle, also called skewed. It will stop 
scanning and back the item out of the scanner. Click on Enable the detection of excessive document skew. Back 
out the document if this occurs.
