How does the nScan 915i differ from other network scanners?

Does the nScan 915i support TWAIN scanning?

A: No. The nScan 915i saves scanned documents to email, FTP/SFTP, SMB Network Share, Cloud storage and SharePoint without needing any client software installed or TWAIN drivers.

Can I load more than one document in the feeder and create a unique PDF for each document?

Yes. You can insert a blank sheet of paper between documents in the feeder and enable Blank Page Split in the Advanced Settings menu. This will create a new multi-page PDF or multi-page TIFF when the scanner sees a blank sheet of paper.
