For the Multi-Feed Detector to function properly be sure of the
following:

• Documents must be greater than or equal to 2.5 inches (104 mm)
in length. (Length is measured parallel to the direction of feeding.)

• Minimum document width is 4.5 inches.

• The thickness of the documents within a batch must be the same

within ±10% from any nominal value from 2.0 to 7.0 mils.

• Documents should be in good condition.

• The document stack is fanned before feeding to aid in document

separation.
