Clean the scan rollers before scanning

To optimize paper feeding performance and minimize paper jams, HP recommends that you clean the scan rollers before using the scanner for the first time.
To clean the rollers, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the scanner is turned off, and then disconnect the power cable.
2. Open the document feeder hatch.
3. On the rear of the open document feeder hatch, raise the feed roller covers to expose the upper
feed rollers.
6 Chapter 1 Product basics
4. On the front of the open document feeder hatch, squeeze in on the tabs on the roller door
assembly and pull gently forward to expose the upper feed rollers.
5. Using the paper path cleaning cloth that came with your scanner (or a clean, lint-free cloth
moistened with isopropyl alcohol), wipe the feed rollers on both sides of the open hatch.
Wipe the rollers from the top down, rotating the rollers a full 360 degrees to ensure that you wipe the complete surface.
CAUTION: Wait two minutes for the feed rollers to dry before loading documents into the
document feeder.
6. Close the roller cover doors on the front and rear of the open document feeder hatch.
7. Close the document feeder hatch, and then reconnect power to the product.
8. Press the Power (
) button to turn on the product.

About scan profiles

If you have scan tasks that you perform frequently, you can use a scan profile to create and save a set of scan settings. This lets you quickly use the same settings each time you perform a specific scan task. You can also map a scan profile to a scanner button.
Once a profile is created, you can use the HP Smart Document Scan Software to:
Select a profile and start a scan
Edit a profile
Delete a profile
Create a new profile based on an existing profile
TIP: HP Smart Document Scan Software comes with default profiles to get you started.
If you want to use your profiles from the Scan Simplex ( ) and Scan Duplex ( ) buttons, use the HP Scanner Tools Utility to:
Add profiles to the scanner LCD's profile list
Reorder profiles in the scanner LCD's profile list
Delete profiles from the scanner LCD's profile list

Document loading tips
The maximum capacity of the document feeder is 50 sheets of 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper. When
using heavier paper, the maximum capacity is decreased.
The maximum card capacity, for card stock up to 15 points, is approximately 9–10 cards.
Be sure that your documents are within these guidelines:
Width: 52 mm to 220 mm (2.1 in to 8.7 in)
Length: 74 mm to 3100 mm (2.9 in to 122 in)
Weight:
Use the Auto detect size setting for page size, or set the page size to match the width and
2
41 g/m
to 209 g/m2 (11 lb to 56 lb)
length of the page that you are scanning.
The scanner document feeder can process cards that meet the following specifications:
Minimum size: 52 mm x 74 mm (2.1 in x 2.9 in)
Maximum size: 210 mm x 269 mm (8.3 in x 10.6 in)

Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to the
documents.
14 Chapter 2 Use the scanner
Wrinkled or creased documents Curled documents
Torn documents Documents with paper clips or
staples
Carbon paper Coated paper
Extremely thin, translucent paper Paper with adhesive notes or flags
attached
Photos Overhead transparencies
Papers that are stuck together Paper where the toner has not fully
Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the
dried, or with wet substances such as glue or correction fluid
leading edge of a document is curled or folded, it may cause a paper jam.
When loading paper that is smaller than 74 mm (2.9 in) in one dimension (such as business
cards), place the pages with the long side parallel to the paper guides.
To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper),
place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve no wider than 220 mm (8.7 in) before loading them into the document feeder.
TIP: If you do not have an appropriately-sized document sleeve, consider using a sleeve
intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the sleeve is no more than 220 mm (8.7 in) wide.
Make sure that the hatch on the document feeder is securely latched. To properly close the
hatch, press until you hear a click.
Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Make sure that the paper guides touch
the edges of the original. If there is any clearance between the paper guides and the edges of the documents, the scanned image might be skewed.
When placing a stack of documents into the feeder, gently set the stack in the document feeder.
Do not drop the stack into the feeder and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed the stack in the document feeder.
Clean the scan rollers if the rollers are visibly dirty or after scanning a document written with or
written on with pencil.
Load originals 15

Load documents

1. Extend the document feeder and output tray.
a. Locate the recessed gray document feeder extension at the top of the input tray, and then
press down at the arrow and release to extend the document feeder.
b. Slide out the output tray, and then fold out the output tray extension and paper guides.
2. Adjust the paper guides on the document feeder to the width of the documents. Take care not to
overtighten the guides, which can restrict paper feeding.
When scanning small originals such as checks, it is especially important that the paper guides fit snugly against the edges of the original yet not restrict paper feeding.
16 Chapter 2 Use the scanner
3. Fan the stack of document pages to ensure that the pages do not stick together. Fan the edge
that will be pointing into the feeder in one direction, and then fan that same edge in the opposite direction.
4. Align the edges of the documents by tapping the bottom of the stack against the table top.
Rotate the stack 90 degrees and repeat.
5. Gently set the stack in the document feeder. Load the pages face down with the top of the pages
pointing into the feeder.
For best results, do not drop the stack into the feeder and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed it in the document feeder.
TIP: Avoid feeding a document with a leading edge that has been folded or frayed. When you
begin scanning, select a profile whose page loading selection matches the edge you are feeding first to ensure that the scan reflects the orientation of the original document.
6. Verify that the paper guides are aligned with the edges of the stack.
Load originals 17

Load cards into the document feeder

To load cards into the document feeder, follow these steps:
1. Place the stack of cards face down with the long dimension parallel to the paper guides.
2. Adjust the paper guides to center the cards, making sure the paper guides touch the edges of
the cards.
