Installing the Auto Document Feeder

Before installing the ADF, be aware that: ◗ The ADF is heavy, so you may need to have someone

help you lift it.

◗ The ADF is large, so clear a wide space around the

scanner before unpacking and installing it. Follow the steps below to install the ADF on your scanner: 1 Make sure your scanner is turned off and unplug the

scanner’s power and interface cables. 2 Remove your scanner’s document cover by grasping it

beside the hinges and lifting it straight up.

3 Insert the installation screws that came with the ADF into

the holes in the back of the scanner and secure them with

the enclosed screwdriver, as shown below.

4 Place the two knobs included with the ADF beside the

scanner.

Warning: The ADF is heavy, so you may need to have someone help you lift it.

5 Place the ADF on the scanner, lining up the screws with

the holes as shown.

6 Twist the knobs onto the ends of the screws and tighten

them using the enclosed screwdriver.

7 Attach the ADF’s connector to the scanner’s option

interface. Secure the connection by tightening the

connector screws.

Caution: If the ADF misfeeds, first make sure the stopper and paper out support are in place and correctly installed.

8 Peel off the backing from the stopper and from the paper

out support provided with the ADF. Then attach the

stopper and paper out support to the scanner as shown.

Insert the tabs on the paper out support into the slots at

the right end of the document table.

9 Close the ADF. 10 Reattach all the scanner cables and turn on the scanner.

Caution: Do not feed photographic sheets or valuable original artwork into the ADF; misfeeding may result in accidental wrinkling or damage to your original.

Loading Paper in the Auto Document Feeder

The ADF can hold up to 30 sheets of the following paper sizes, based on a paper weight of 17 lb and a thickness of 0.2 inch (6.0 mm) or less:

Paper size Direction

A3, Ledger, B4, Legal, A4, Letter, B5, A5,

5.5 × 5.8-inch (140 × 148 mm) A4, Letter, B5, A5 Landscape

See Specifications

for complete paper requirements.

Before loading the ADF, make sure the document:

◗ Has no wet ink on it. ◗ Has no holes and is not ripped or wrinkled. ◗ Has no staples or other objects attached that may damage

the feeder.

Portrait

◗ Has no folds. ◗ Is not a multipart form. ◗ Is not bound.

Note: You can automatically scan both sides of a document using the

ADF-double sided

setting in EPSON TWAIN Pro. See the software’s online user’s guide for instructions.

◗ Has no carbon coating. ◗ Has no cut-out areas.

Follow the steps below to load paper in the ADF:

1 Slide the edge guides all the way out.

2 Arrange your stack of originals face up, with the page you

want to scan first on the bottom. Insert the paper stack into

the ADF until it meets resistance.

If your document is in portrait orientation (top and bottom

edges are shorter than the side edges), insert the

document bottom edge first.

If your document is in landscape orientation (top and

bottom edges are longer than the side edges), insert the

document left edge first.

Caution: When scanning high-quality color or halftone documents, it is best to open the ADF and scan documents as described in Loading documents manually.

Don’t open the ADF while scanning. You’ll get an option error and possibly a paper feeding error.

Always close the ADF before scanning or using the feeder.

If your documents are large, pull out the paper support.

3 Slide the edge guides to the edges of your paper.

4 Follow the steps in your software’s user’s guide to scan

your document.

Loading documents manually

You can load documents manually while the ADF is installed. Open the ADF and place the document on the document table. Then close the ADF and scan the document as described in Scanner Basics

Fixing Paper Jams in the Auto Document Feeder

If a paper jam occurs, first open the ADF’s cover to determine where the paper jam occurred.

If paper jams in the feeder, open the cover on the left and slowly pull out the jammed paper as shown. (Be careful not to pull too hard or the paper may tear, making it more difficult to remove.)

If paper jams in the paper eject position, open the cover on the right and slowly pull out the jammed paper as shown. (Be careful not to pull too hard or the paper may tear, making it more difficult to remove.)

After removing the jammed paper, close the ADF cover and reset the scanner by turning it off and on again or pressing the RESET button.

Adjusting the Scanning Position of the Auto Document Feeder

If your document feeds into the ADF too far or not far enough, adjust the scanning position using the adjustment dials. This problem may occur if the stopper is not installed or not positioned properly on the document table, so first make sure the stopper is installed as described in Installing the Auto

Document Feeder.

To access the dials, slide open the dial cover on the rear of the ADF.

The right dial controls where paper stops when it is first loaded from the feeder. The left dial controls where double-sided originals stop during scanning of the second side.

If the upper portion of the scanned image is missing, turn the dial clockwise. The position changes in 1 mm (0.04 inch) increments.

If the lower portion of the scanned image is missing, turn the dial counterclockwise. The position changes in 1 mm (0.04 inch) increments.
