Stitch-assist Procedures (Scanning a Document Larger than Document Glass)

Use this function to scan a document larger than the document glass. The stitch-assist function scans the left half and then the right half of an item, and merges both halves into one image.

Select [Stitch-assist (11"x17")], [Stitch-assist (A3)] or [Stitch-assist (Platen x2)] in [Paper Size] to perform this function.

This function can be used with [Copy], [Print], [Save], [PDF], [Photo-1], and [Photo-2] buttons on CanoScan Toolbox. Here, the [Save] button is used as an example.
