AC Adapter
● Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power
supply frequency (120 V, 60 Hz or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz depending
on your region).
● Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet
to which the scanner is connected. Also, when using an extension
cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the current
requirements of the scanner.
● Never try to take the AC adapter apart or modify it in any way, as
this is dangerous.
● The power cord may become damaged if it is often stepped on or if
heavy objects are placed on it.
● Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.

(11.81" (W) x 13.2" (H) x 9.25" (D)) mm when the document feed is
open. A newly designed feed mechanism saves space by
eliminating the need for space to eject paper at the front of the
scanner.
● Fast Document Feeding
Documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 25 pages per
minute (when scanning one-sided or two-sided documents of A4
size at 200 dpi).
● Two Eject Paths for Scanning a Variety of Documents
Use the U-turn path to scan paper of standard thickness, or use the
straight path to scan cards and other thick documents.
● High Image Quality
The 600 dpi optical resolution sensor incorporated in the scanner
enables documents to be scanned with high image quality.
● USB 2.0 Interface
The scanner supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
● Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
● Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on
the document type:
• Single-sided or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page
function)
• Continuous or single sheet feed
● Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards.
● Paper Size Detection
The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document
and eliminates any unnecessary space around the edges of the
image when storing the image, even when storing a document of
irregular size.
● Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white (binary), and saves the image
accordingly.
● Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch and the scanner
driver to allow scanning under automatically determined conditions.
Scanning conditions such as the color mode and page size are set
automatically based on the document being scanned.
● Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings,
this function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
● Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
● Deskew
The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that the
document was placed askew.
● Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if a
double feed is detected.
● Text Enhancement Modes
The scanner is equipped with the Advanced Text Enhancement
Mode (only for Windows), for enhancing the text of documents with
dark or uneven backgrounds, and the Advanced Text Enhancement
II mode, for enhancing the text when both the text and background
are light.
These modes may not work, depending on the type of document.
● Color Drop-out
The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that
enables you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the
scanned image during black and white or grayscale scanning.
20
● Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that
enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank
pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is twosided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image
is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
● Prescan Function
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to
adjust the contrast and brightness of a prescanned image and then
send the adjusted image to the application software, without
needing to scan the document again.
● Character/Line Emphasis Function
If characters and lines in scanned images are not clearly visible, you
can use this function to adjust their thickness during scanning.
● Scan First
Pressing Start Button starts CaptureOnTouch. You can then
perform a scan simply by following the on-screen guidance.
● Select Scan Job
You can register scanning conditions and methods for processing
scanned images as jobs, and register up to 10 jobs in
CaptureOnTouch. By simply selecting a registered job, you can
perform scanning operations in a determined order.
● Auto Start
The scanner is equipped with an auto start function, which enables
scanning to be automatically started when a document placed in the
feeder is detected.
● Sleep Mode
The scanner is designed to save energy by entering the sleep mode
when it is not scanning documents.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the bundled software you are using, all of the
preceding features may not be available.

0.06 to 0.15 mm (0.0024" to 0.0059")
When straight path: 40 to 209 g/m
0.05 to 0.25 mm (0.002" to 0.0098")
* Setting the scanner to Long Document mode enables documents
up to 3,000 mm (118.1") long to be scanned. For details on Long
Document mode, refer to “Setting the Long Document Mode” on
p. 32.
IMPORTANT
The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the
following items carefully.
• When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the
documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers.
2

2
(11 to 58 lb bond)
• Use the straight path when scanning documents that are 70 mm
(2.76") long or less.
• Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with
the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry
before scanning it.
• Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material
may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to
smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent
documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after
scanning such documents.
• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper,
the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. In
this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software
before scanning the document.
• It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a time.
• Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam
or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the
document and then scan the photocopy.
There are creases or
fold lines.
There are curls. The surface is coated.
There are tears.
There are clips or
staples.

Placing Documents for Standard Feeding
Ordinarily, standard feeding should be used when scanning multiple
documents of a standard size at one time. Standard feeding enables
the multiple documents to be fed while separating each page.
1
Open the document feed tray.
2
Pull out the feed support.
26
3
When scanning long documents, pull out the feed
extension plates and eject support.
4
Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever.
Set the feed selection lever to the standard feeding position (lower
position).
Set the eject selection lever to the U-turn path position ( ).
When scanning documents that contain both standard paper and
plastic cards, use the straight path.
5
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the
document to be scanned.
27
6
Place the document.
Insert the document in the feed tray so that the front is facing
forward and the top is facing upward.
After inserting the document in the document feeder, align the
document guides with both edges of the document.
IMPORTANT
• When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut
your hands on the edges of the paper.
• Make sure that the document does not exceed the loading limit
marks ( ) on the document guides. Up to 30 pages of ordinary
plain paper (80 g/m
• Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not
contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These
items may cause a fire or electrical shock, damage the document,
or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the
scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be
extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything gets caught in the
scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet to stop scanning.
• Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before
placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is
curled, it may cause a paper jam.
• If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the
scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the
scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed has been
stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.
• After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray to prevent
damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
• Although standard feeding can be used in combination with the
straight path when scanning, multi-page documents will be ejected
in reverse order in such cases.
• If you select the [Upside-down feeding] check box in the scanner
driver settings, you can insert documents into the scanner in the
opposite orientation (see p. 53, p. 78).
