Document Feeding and Scanning

This chapter describes precautions regarding documents that can be handled on this scanner and scanning operations.

Documents

This section describes the types of documents that can be used and how to place them.

CAUTION

Treat the documents carefully. The paper edges may cut your fingers.

Document

The CR-190i can feed a wide variety of document sizes. The ranges of height and length for a document are:

Height : 2.7" to 4.3" (68 to 108 mm) Length : 4.7" to 9.6" (120 to 245 mm)

Thickness : 0.003" to 0.008" (0.08 to 0.20 mm) Weight : 17 to 40 lb bond (64 to 157 g/m2)

Length

Height

Follow these guidelines when you prepare a document for scanning:

•Before scanning documents that contain pasted artwork, make sure that the ink or paste is thoroughly dry. If the documents are scanned with wet ink or paste, the inside of the scanner may become dirty and it may cause a malfunction.

•If you scan a document written in pencil, the letters may not be scanned properly or the pencil may rub off onto the rollers and stain subsequent documents. Before you scan this kind of document, make a copy, and then scan the copy. After scanning a document written in pencil or some other soft writing material, be sure to clean the scanning rollers. (See “Cleaning the Scanning Glass and Rollers” on p. 15.)

•If you scan thin paper in the Duplex mode, the ink printed on the back side may be scanned. If this happens, adjust the scanning density.

•Scanning documents with a rough surface may not feed easily, and may cause friction between the documents, resulting in a feeding error. If this happens, feed the documents one by one.

•To avoid paper jams, damage to documents, and a scanner malfunction, do not feed the following types of paper into the scanner. If you want to scan these types of paper, first make a copy, and then scan the copy.

Wrinkled or creased				Carbon backed paper
paper
				Coated paper or fax
Curled paper
				recording paper

Torn paper Extremely thin paper

Paper with clips or

Paper with binding holes

staples

NOTE

•Note that mixing documents of different thickness may cause a malfunction during feeding.

•Curled, wrinkled, or folded documents may cause an error. If this happens, straighten out the curls, or reduce the number of documents loaded.

5

Envelope

You can also scan the envelope. When using separation OFF mode, you can scan an envelope with thickness up to 0.02" (0.5 mm) or weight up to 111 lb bond (413 g/m2).

NOTE

•Disable the double feed detection function. (See “Using Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection,” on p. 33 in Instructions.)

•If the envelope is not the first document in the batch, it may cause a feeding error or a paper jam.

•Some type of envelope may cause a feeding error or a paper jam.

Placing Documents

Note the following points when placing documents on the scanner.

•Place the front of the document toward you.

•Do not exceed the Load Limit Mark when placing documents in the document tray. This may cause feeding errors or paper jams.

Load Limit Mark

•A maximum of 250 documents can be loaded at one time.

•Move the stopper to the edge of the document in the document tray in accordance with the document. Otherwise, this may cause a paper eject error.

•Additional documents can be placed while the machine is scanning.

IMPORTANT

•Align the documents and set the bottom of the documents level in the document tray.

•Do not exceed the Load Limit Mark when placing documents. This may cause double feed error.

Document Feeding and Scanning

This section describes how to load and scan documents.

CAUTION

•Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, long ties, or long hair that could become entangled with moving parts, especially the rollers that feed paper through the scanner. If such objects become entangled, immediately disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

•Check the paper stack and remove all clips, staples, pins, or any other type of metal or plastic fastener. These objects may cause damage to the document, a paper jam, or a scanner malfunction.

•Do not touch anything except the operation buttons when the jogger is operating or documents are being fed.

•Do not touch documents that are being fed under any circumstances. The documents that are being fed may cut your hand.

Scan Procedure

1 Carefully align the edges of the document.

2 Place the first page of the document facing you, and place the leading edge of the document into the scanner.

3 If the documents are not aligned, press the JOG Button.

The jogger mechanism can be used to align documents.

IMPORTANT

•If you press the JOG Button when a batch of documents of various sizes are loaded, the alignment will be incomplete, and the documents will not be scanned in the order loaded. If you are scanning documents of various sizes, align the leading edges of all the documents with the entry point of feeding.

•The jogger mechanism is not available for documents of less than 5.9" (150 mm) in length.

NOTE

•The jogger does not work when the shutter is open. It occurs on the following conditions:

•The STOP Button is pressed and the scanning stops.

•There are documents on the document tray when a paper jam

occurs.

Remove the documents from the document tray to close the shutter. If the jammed document remains or the Top Cover is removed, the jogger does not work.

•The jogger vibrates for 6 seconds, and then stops. Press the JOG Button to stop the jogger.

4 Adjust the Eject Stopper in accordance with the document.

Eject Pocket 2

Eject Pocket 1

•When printing with the imprinter, ink may get on the leading edge of the document because the documents are ejected onto the printed surface.

Ink residue
