What the ADF Can Do

The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a powerful addition to your HP ScanJet color scanner. With the ADF, you can automatically scan up to 25 pages at a time (more or less depending on the paper weight)In addition, you can:

•

Automatically scan and convert multiple pages of text by using the ADF with optical character recognition (OCR) software. This dramatically reduces the time it takes to input text for creating documents such as newletters.

•

Automatically scan multiple pages of images by using the ADF with image scanning software.

•

Scan text and images at the same time by using the ADF with scanning software.

•

Electronically store, retrieve, and send scanned documents as needed by using document

Tips for Better Paper

Handling

Follow these tips when you scan with your ADF:

•

Remove any paper from the scanner glass before using the ADF.

•

Straighten any curls or wrinkles from your pages before putting them on the document tray. If this is not possible, do not scan these pages using the ADF. Instead, use the scanner glass, or make a photocopy of the documents and scan the photocopies.

•

Do not use the ADF to scan sheets of uncommon paper or other media, such as:

•

Transparencies

•

Gummed-back paper

•

Magazine pages

•

Lightweight (“onionskin”) carbons

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

•

Remove staples, paper clips, and any other materials from documents.

•

Avoid documents with tears, perforations, or punch holes.

•

Use the ADF with paper that fits the following dimensions:

Width Height

Minimum 5.8 inches

14.8 cm

8.3 inches

21.1 cm

Maximum 8.5 inches

21.6 cm

•

For paper smaller than the minimum size, use the

14 inches

35.6 cm

scanner glass instead of the ADF. Paper smaller than the minimum may cause a paper jam.

•

For paper lighter than 16-lb. bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28-lb. bond (105 g/m

), use the scanner glass

instead of the ADF.

Do not use other

Note

cleaning fluids! They may damage the ADF window. Never spray the cleaning fluid directly on the ADF.

Check the flat gray bar above
