PREPARATIONS

Placing Original(s)

Inspecting Original(s)

Please inspect your original(s) before scanning to prevent paper jams and protect documents.

Do not use sheets other than those with the specified size, quality, and weight as the Specification (p.24) to feed in the ADF tray.

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.

When scanning a stack of small business cards or other small paper, place the long side of the paper parallel with the Width Guides.

We recommend that long paper to be fed in ADF Input Tray one sheet at a time.
