• If the check box “Save multiple pages as a single file” is enabled, all pages of
the originals are scanned before they are saved under a single file name.
T ake note that this will not work if the chosen output file format is PDF. This
file format can only be saved and assigned with individual file names for each
page.
Selecting this check box will create files
under the specified file name, and
numbers are added serially and in order
to generate multiple file names for the
scanned/saved documents.
For example, assuming the document is
saved as "Sample," the first document
will be Sample.001, followed by
Sample.002, Sample.003, etc.
Fixing Paper Jams
When a paper jam occurs, do the following:
1 . Open the feeder cover by lifting the two Earlobe levers located on each side of the
cover.

Earlobe levers
2 . With the cover fully opened, pull out the jammed document from the feeder by
doing the following:
• Pull the paper in a forward direction if paper is jammed in the first stage (paper
feed) rollers.
• If the paper is jammed in the second stage (scanning) rollers , you may pull it
out in either direction (forward or backward).
• You can also open the transparent cover of the scan sensor area (at the bottom
of the feeder) to pull out the jammed paper.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Scan Sensor Cover
The transparent cover of the scan sensor area at the bottom of the feeder needs
regular cleaning to maintain its clear transparency for quality scanning. Use nonabrasive lint-free cloth to gently wipe both surfaces of the cover. To remove stains,
use cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol.

Cleaning the Rollers
Prolonged use of the ADF-650/651 may result in accumulation of ink and other
residue on the feeder's rollers, affecting their efficiency . Check for residue on the
rollers if paper flow through the rollers becomes erratic. Open the feeder cover to
periodically clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab moistened with water.
Note: Do not attempt to turn the roller while cleaning, as this may damage the train
drive mechanism of the ADF-650/651.
