below.
ADF Scan
A stack of documents can be scanned with ADF at a maximum
speed of 20 pages/min.
(When set to black and white, 200 dpi, and A4/Letter size)
Flatbed scan
Documents that cannot be scanned by the feeder (e.g. thin
paper, thick paper, magazines, and bound documents) can be
scanned on the flatbed.
The maximum size of the document that can be scanned is
Legal size.
Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level
grayscale.
Job Function
Documents can be scanned automatically by pressing
preregistered buttons on the operation panel. Jobs are
automatically processed by a preset method without the need to
start up an application.
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.
Deskew
The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that
the document was placed askew.
Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in the supplied software,
CaptureOnTouch, 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.
Advanced Text Enhancement
Documents with dark backgrounds or documents with faint text
written in pencil can be scanned clearly.
6
* Note that this function may not function effectively, depending
on the document type.
Moire Reduction
This mode lessens the moire effect (a shimmering, wavy
pattern) that may occur when color documents such as
magazine photos are scanned.
Color Drop-out
Specify certain color in the document so that it will be excluded
in the scan.
Remove Punch Holes
When scanning from the flatbed, this function erases the black
spots that appear on a scanned image from documents that
have had holes punched in them to be stored in a binder.
Character Orientation Detector
This function identifies the orientation of characters in a
document, and, if necessary, rotates the image so that the
orientation of the scanned characters is correct.
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.
Energy Saving Mode
This scanner is compatible with the International Energy Star
Program, and is designed to save power by using the energy

Feeding Methods
There are two methods of scanning documents using this scanner.
Feeder
Flatbed (Platen Glass)
Precautions for Using the Feeder
When scanning a multipage document in a single scan proce-
dure using the feeder, make sure that all of the pages are identical in thickness, and quality of paper. Feeding different types of
paper at one time may cause a paper jam.
Scanning documents before the ink is dry will make the rollers
and scanning glass dirty, resulting in smears on the scanned
8
image and other documents becoming dirty. Always make sure
that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material
will make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, resulting in
smears on the scanned image.
When scanning thin paper, text or images on the reverse side of
the page may bleed through onto the scanned image. In this
case, adjust the brightness under the scanning conditions.
Always make sure to check that paper clips, staples, and similar
objects are not mixed in with a document before loading it into
the feeder. The presence of such objects may result in damage
to documents, paper jams, and damage to the scanner.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the
scanner while you are using it. Doing so may result in personal
injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything
becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet to stop the scanner.
Documents with curled edges may result in folds and paper
jams. Make sure to straighten out the curls before loading documents in the scanner.
Handle paper edges with care, and be careful not to cut your fin-
gers when loading documents.

Placing a Document on the Flatbed (Platen Glass).................... 25
Setting the Long Document Mode ..............................................26
Documents
The scanner can scan documents ranging in size from business
cards and checks to A4/LTR/LGL. The document sizes that this
scanner can scan are shown below.
Documents
The scanner can scan documents of the following sizes:
Feeder
Flatbed (Platen Glass)
Make sure to thoroughly read the following cautions for scanning documents
using the feeder:
When scanning a stack of documents using the feeder, make
sure that the documents are of the same size, stock, and paper
quality. Feeding documents of different sizes or types together
may cause a paper jam.
Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before
scanning it. Scanning documents with the ink still wet may soil
the rollers or scanning glass, cause lines or smudges to appear
on images, or dirty other documents.
Always clean the rollers or scanning glass after scanning a doc-
ument written in pencil. Scanning documents with pencil written
on them may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause stripes to
appear in images, or dirty other documents.
When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin
paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show
Width: 51 mm to 216 mm (2" to 8.5")
Length: 89 mm to 356 mm (3.5" to 14.0")
(You can scan documents up to 1,000 mm (39.3") long by
setting the scanner to the Long Document mode.)
Thickness:
35 to 128 g/m

Capacity: 50 sheets or stacked to a height of 6.0 mm (0.2")
(including curling)
Width: 216 mm (8.5")
Length: 356 mm (14")
23
through. Adjust the brightness in the scanning conditions before
scanning the document.
Scanning the following types of documents using the feeder
may cause paper jams or malfunctions. Scan documents like
these using the flatbed (platen glass).
Business Card
If a stack of business cards cannot be fed properly, reduce the number of cards in the stack.
Placing a Document into the Feeder
1 Open the document feed tray.
2 Ruffle and sort the documents, and then set the documents
with the surfaces to be scanned facing up.
3 Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document.
The document can now be scanned.
Wrinkled or
creased documents
Carbon paper
Curled paper Coated paper
Torn documents Extremely thin,
translucent paper
Documents with
paper clips or staples
Documents with
excessive
paper dust particles.
Size: 51mm × 89mm (2.01" × 3.50") or larger
Paper weight: 128 to 209.5 g/m2 (0.15 mm to 0.25 mm)
Orientation: Vertical feeding only
24
Before scanning, make sure that the document is not curled or
creased, and that it is placed in the feed tray correctly. Scanning an
improperly placed, curled, or creased document may damage the
document or cause a paper jam.
When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut
your hands on the edges of the paper.
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 the power OFF, 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 and the
document eject tray to prevent damage to the scanner while it is
not being used.
Documents That Contain Differently-Sized Pages
Place the document so that each page is centered between the
document guides.
