Caution:

≥ Acceptable documents are as follows.

Paper size: 50.8
Paper thickness:

Single paper feed: 0.05
Continuous paper feed: 0.06 to 0.15 mm (2.36 to 5.9 mils)

Paper weight:

Single paper feed: 40 to 127 g/m
Continuous paper feed: 50 to 127 g/m

If you scan other types of documents, paper jamming or multiple-sheet feeding may occur.

≥ Scanning paper such as carbons or carbonless paper m ay cause skewing, paper jamming or multi ple-sheet

feeding because it makes the rollers dirty and the chemicals may cause the rollers to swell up.

≥ The amount of documents shou ld not exceed the limit mar k on the d ocument guide. This may cause a paper

jam or skew.

≥ Be sure to remove the document from the exit tray after it is scanned.
≥ When you scan the irregular or fragile documents, it is recommended to make a copy and use the copy to scan.
≥ When scanning a curled or folded document, load the document after flattening it.

door by placing the non-gear side to the ADF
door release.

≥ Match the groove to the guide.
≥ Push the roller, and confirm the sensor is locked

by the springs on both sides.

∫ Re-attach the sensor roller for front scanning

Attach the longer roller to the unit by placing

Troubleshooting

If a problem occur s wh ile th e un it is be ing use d, che ck the following items an d check the scanner status by User Ut il ity.
If the unit still malfunctions, turn it OFF, unplug the power cord and call for service.

Symptom Possible Cause Remedy

power switch is turned ON.

The computer does not recognize
the scanner.

The power cord is not plugged in. Insert the power plug firmly.

Problem with power supply.

The scanner is not connected to the
computer correctly.

The computer ca nnot r ecogn ize the
SCSI card.

The same ID number is used for the
scanner and the other device.

The terminator is not set correctly.

The scanner was turned on after
the computer was turned on.

Disconnect the scanner from the
electric outlet and call for service.

Connect the cables correctly.

Check your computer whether the
SCSI card is installed correctly
using the device manager’s prop­erty.

Use the different SCSI ID numbers
for each devices.

If the scanner is lo cated to ter minal
position, set the terminator
“Enable”.
If the scanner is not located to ter­minal position, set the terminator
“Disable”.

Turn the computer OFF. Turn the
scanner ON, and then turn the com­puter ON again.

z).

Clean all of the rollers.
(See page 23.)

Replace the paper feed roller mod­ule and the retard roller module.
(See page 27 and page 30.)

Flatten the document and load it
again after reducing the pages.

Make a copy of the document on
specified paper (see page 35) and
scan the copy.

Make a copy of the document on
paper of the specified size and scan
the copy.

Load the document correctly.
(See page 17.)

Clean the CIS glasses.
(See page 25.)

The scanning density is uneven.

The color of the s cann ed docum ent
is extremely different from the ori gi­nal document.

Dark spots or noise appea r on the
scanned documents.

Scanned image has moire fringes
such as stripe or wavy pattern
noise.

The CIS glasses or the sensor
rollers are dirty.

The setting of the monitor is wrong. Adjust the monitor setting.

The CIS glasses or the sensor
rollers are dirty.

It is caused by printing pattern of
the document and the congeniality
of the scanning resolution.
