and protect documents.
Do not use sheets other than those with the specified size, quality,

Do not mix different paper types and paper sizes.
Ensures staples and paper clips have been removed prior to
scanning as they may cause damage to the scanner and document.
Do not feed paper with wet ink or liquid correction fluid, curls,
wrinkles, folds, irregular shapes or tears into the ADF tray.
Do not scan fragile photos and important originals using the ADF as
misfeeding may wrinkle or damage them. Use the flatbed instead.
Do not overload the ADF Input Tray. The paper capacity is 60 sheets
for the plain paper or 20 cards for the business cards.
If a stack of plain paper or business cards cannot be fed into the
ADF properly, try to reduce the number of plain paper or cards in the
stack.

place the long side of the paper parallel with the Width Guides.
