Scanning an Original

This scanner can scan an original with a smooth surface such as a photograph or printed matter. Check the conditions and sizes of originals the scanner can scan before scanning an original. To scan a large original, see “Scanning a Large Original”.

Conditions for Originals the Scanner Can Scan

This scanner may not successfully scan certain types of original. Note the following:

 Notes

• Use an original with a smooth surface.

• If an original with uneven thickness such as one with a sticker or label affixed to it is

scanned, a line may appear at the boundary where different surface levels converge or the sticker or label may come off.

• This scanner cannot scan transparent originals such as photographic film. It can,

however, scan an OHP film original that is clearly visible when placed on white paper.

• If a thin original is scanned when placed on top of another form, the image on that other

form may also end up being scanned together with the original image.

• Always remove clips and staples because they cause scanner failures.

• If ink on an original has not dried, be sure to wait until the ink is completely dry before

attempting to scan it.

• Do not use the following originals:

– Wet original – Original with surface treatment or special coating applied – Original made of a material other than paper, such as cloth or metallic sheet – Original whose surface to be scanned is sticky

• Do not directly scan an original written in pencil because the rollers and sensor may

become dirty. To scan an original written in pencil, first place the original in the original holder.

Scanning a Large Original

The following explains how to scan a large original the scanner cannot scan at one time. This scanner stitches the images of an original mainly consisting of text (called a document below) using the character image stitching function, and photographic and picture images using the photograph image stitching function.

Checking Whether the Scanner Can Scan the Original You Want to Scan

For information on the conditions and sizes for originals this scanner can scan, see “Conditions for Originals the Scanner Can Scan” and “Original Sizes the Scanner Can Scan”.

Before Scanning an Original

Requirement for target images

It takes time to stitch color or gra y-scale images because the amount of data is very large. Your computer must have at least 64 MB of memory. (Recommended memory: 128 MB)

 Guide

For character image stitching

Scan the document so that the images to be stitched overlap each other and the ov erlapping area contains at least two or three lines.
