HP EveryPage Ultrasonic (Windows)

Your HP scanning solution can detect when multiple pages feed through the scanner at the same time using HP EveryPage Ultrasonic. With this technology, you can also recover from multi-feed errors without losing the pages that you have already scanned.
When a multi-feed occurs, the software displays a message and a thumbnail of the last successfully­scanned page. Select an option from the message to resolve the issue, reseat the remaining pages in the stack, and then continue the scan.
The HP Easy Scan software contains several options to control how HP EveryPage Ultrasonic works. For example, you can exclude a certain region of the page from multi-feed detection, which might be helpful if your documents contain sticky notes. To view or change these options, open HP Easy Scan and go to the Hardware Options tab of the Scan Settings tab.

The following topics describe how to load and scan originals.

Load originals

The following topics describe how to load originals into the document feeder.

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.
TIP: Use the lines on the input tray paper guides to help you to not exceed the document
feeder capacity.
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: 74 mm to 215.9 mm (2.9 in to 8.5 in)
Length: 51 mm to 864 mm (2.0 in to 34 in)
Weight:
The scanner document feeder can process cards that meet the following specifications:
Minimum size: 51 mm x 74 mm (2.0 in x 2.9 in)
Maximum size: 210 mm x 269 mm (8.3 in x 10.6 in)
Minimum weight:
Maximum weight:
2
49 g/m
to 120 g/m2 (13 lb to 32 lb)
253 g/m
326 g/m

(15 points or 120 lb)
Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to the
documents.
Wrinkled or creased documents Curled documents
10 Chapter 2 Use the scanner ENWW
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
dried, or with wet substances such as glue or correction fluid
Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the
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 short 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 215.9 mm (8.5 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 215.9 mm (8.5 in) wide.
Make sure that the hatch on the document feeder is securely latched. To properly close the
hatch, press firmly on both sides of the hatch until you hear both sides 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.
