Merging originals

The device and user (cost center) inactivity timeouts should be set accordingly to avoid logout when scanning a large number of originals.

Admin settings

Administrator can setup merging originals in the Scan settings part of the management UI.

He can setup the default values of each scan setting and he can also decide whether terminal users have the ability to modify scan settings by checking or unchecking the "Can be modified by the user on the device" checkbox next to each setting.

  1. Merging originals - This option specifies whether merging of the scanned documents is enabled or disabled on the MFD. In case it's enabled user can continually scan multiple documents in one scan session and even combine scanning from document feeder and from glass. So user can for example continually scan 10 pages from a book to one output file.

    If the related checkbox is checked then this option can be modified on the Dispatcher Paragon terminal scan options - merging originals.

User settings
