CAUTION
Do not install the scanner on unstable surfaces.
Make sure that the scanner is installed on a flat, level surface and that none of its parts
extend beyond the surface top, such as a desk or table. Do not install the scanner on
unstable surfaces. Install the scanner on a level surface that is free of vibration to
prevent it from falling.
Install the scanner on a strong surface that will support the weight of the scanner and
other devices.
Do not block the ventilation ports.

Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or use the scanner's surface top to perform
other work. Improper installation might cause injuries and equipment failure.
Firmly insert the power plug.
Firmly insert the power plug as far it can go into the power outlet.
Avoid any contact when scanner is in use.
Avoid touching any scanner mechanism during scanning since this may cause injuries.
Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold
place into a warm room.
Do not use the device immediately after moving it from a cold place into a warm room.
This may cause condensation, which might lead to scanning errors. Let the device dry
about one or two hours before you use it.
x
Before moving the scanner, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet.
Do not move the scanner with the power and interface cables connected as this might
damage the cables, causing fire, electric shock or injuries. Before moving the scanner,
be sure to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet, and all other data cables.
Make sure that the floor is free of any obstruction.
Protect the scanner from static electricity.
Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of electronic
noise. Also, protect the scanner from any static electricity as this might cause the
scanner to malfunction.
Do not use aerosol sprays near the scanner.
Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. Aerosol sprays cause dirt and dust to
enter the scanner, resulting scanner failure and malfunction.
Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when the scanner
is not used for a long period of time.
When the scanner is not going to be used for a long period of time, be sure to
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet for safety.

2.2 Loading Documents on ADF
This section explains how to check the document condition and load them on ADF. These operations are very important to avoid paper jam or scanning error.
2.2.1 Checking document condition
Check that the document meets the following condition.
HINT
• If the documents do not meet the conditions, scan them on Flatbed
referring to "Loading Document on Flatbed" on page.16
• If you scan sheets of paper that is not recommended for feeding with
ADF, a paper jam may occur in the scanner or a wrinkle may occur on a
sheet. To prevent this from occurring, use Flatbed when scanning such
paper.
■ Document Size
For ADF: Minimum 115 (Width) x 140 (Length) mm (4.53 x 5.51 in.)
Maximum 216 (Width) x 355 (Length) mm (8.5 x 14 in.)
■ Document Type
The following paper types are recommended for ADF scanning:
• Woodfree paper
• Wood containing paper
When using documents other than above paper types, scan som test sheets of the same type
to see if the documents can be scanned or not, before attempting to scan the documents.
12
■ Document Thickness
Paper thickness is generally expressed by "paper weight". The following shows the paper
weights that can be used on this scanner:
• 52 g/m
2
to 127 g/m2 (14lb to 34lb)
■ Precautions
The following documents may not be scanned successfully:
• Documents of non-uniform thickness (e.g. envelopes)
• Wrinkled or curled documents (Refer to HINTs on the next page)
• Folded or torn documents
• Tracing paper
• Coated paper
• Carbon paper
• Carbonless paper
• Photosensitive paper
• Perforated or punched documents
2.2 Loading Documents on ADF

• Documents that are not square or rectangular
• Very thin documents
Do not use the following documents:
• Paper-clipped or stapled documents
• Documents on which the ink is still wet
• Documents other than paper such as fabric, metal foil, or transparencies
HINT
ATTENTION
• When scanning semi-transparent documents, slide the [Brightness] bar
to light to avoid bleed through.
• To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents
containing large areas written or filled in pencil. If scanning of such documents is unavoidable, clean the rollers frequently
• Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the
Pad ASSY or rollers (e.g. Pick roller) when these types of documents
are fed. Pay attention to the following:
Cleaning:
If pick errors occur frequently, clean the Pad ASSY.
For details on cleaning the Pad ASSY, refer to "3.2.3 Cleaning the
ADF" on page 39.
Replacing parts:
The service lives of the Pad ASSY and Pick roller ASSY are sometimes shortened when scanning medium-grade paper documents.
• When documents of Wood containing paper are scanned, the life of
Pad ASSY and Pick roller ASSY may be shorter compared with the
case where the manuscript of Woodfree paper is scanned.
