Scan Preparation 3

Loading a document

• Insert only one page into the scanner at a time. Insert the next page only after the first one is completely scanned. Inserting more than one page at a time may cause your scanner to malfunction.
• DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.
• DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, pasted, or taped.
• DO NOT try to scan cardboard or fabric.
• Make sure there is enough space behind the paper ejection slot. The scanned document will be ejected from the rear of the scanner.
• Make sure documents that have ink or correction fluid on them are completely dry.
• Certain types of plastic cards may be scratched when scanned. To prevent damage to the card, we recommended using the Carrier Sheet. For more information, see Loading the Carrier Sheet on page 16.

Important Carrier Sheet tips

To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. For more information, see Loading
the Carrier Sheet on page 16.
To avoid document jams, do not put several small documents into the Carrier Sheet at the same time.
Insert only one document into the Carrier Sheet at a time.
Do not write on the Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in scanned documents. If the Carrier Sheet
becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.
Do not leave documents in the Carrier Sheet for extended periods of time, as the printing on the
documents may bleed through onto the Carrier Sheet.
