Load original documents in the automatic document
feeder
You can scan up to 200 single- and double-sided document pages through the automatic
document feeder (ADF) at one time.
Document loading tips
•The ADF supports the following paper types.
Width:70–300 mm (2.75–11.8 in)
Length:148–864 mm (5.8–34 in)
Weight:49–120 g/m2 (13–32 lb)
NOTE: In the scanning software, set the page size to match the width and length
of the paper that you are scanning.
•Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to
the documents. To scan these documents, make a photocopy, and then scan the
copy instead.
Wrinkled or creased
documents
Torn documentsDocuments with paper
Carbon paperCoated paper
Extremely thin,
translucent paper
PhotosOverhead
Papers that are stuck
together
Curled documents
clips or staples
Paper with adhesive
notes or flags attached
transparencies
Paper with wet
substances such as
glue or correction fluid
•Before loading documents, make sure that the ADF access doors are securely
latched.
•When loading a stack of documents, make sure that all of the documents are the
same size.
8HP Scanjet N9120
•The maximum capacity of the ADF is 200 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. When using
heavier paper, the maximum capacity is decreased. Use the fill line, shown below, as
a guide for the maximum height of the document stack.
•For small or narrow documents, load the edge that is less than 148 mm (5.8 in)
pointing into the feeder so that the longer edge can be pulled into the feeder and
passed along by the feed rollers.
English
•When loading small or lightweight documents, such as A6 cards (index cards) or U.S.
check carbons, load a stack of at least five documents to ensure that the ADF properly
detects and feeds the stack. When scanning fewer than five small or lightweight
documents, scan the documents by placing them on the scanner glass.
•When loading long documents that hang over the end of the input tray, pull out the
input tray extender (1), and then load the documents (2).

How to load documents
1. Flip up the paper stop in the output tray that best matches the size of the documents
that you are scanning. Select the stop position that is closest to (and beyond) the
edge of your documents as they come out of the ADF.
2. 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.

3. Align the edges of the documents by tapping the bottom of the stack against the table
top. Rotate the stack 90 degrees and repeat.
4. Place the stack in the middle of the input tray. Load the stack face up. For fastest
scanning, load the stack with the left edge leading into the ADF.
NOTE: In the scanning software, choose the layout setting that matches the
orientation of the originals in the ADF.
5. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Take care not to overtighten
the guides, which can restrict paper feeding, but make sure that the paper guides
touch the edges of the documents.
English
6. Gently push the stack forward to trip the tray sensor.
