Caution:
≥ Acceptable documents are as follows.
Paper size: 50.8 k 70 mm (2.0 k 2.8 in.)
Paper thickness:

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 may cause skewing, paper jamming or multiple-sheet
feeding because it makes the rollers dirty and the chemicals may cause the rollers to swell up.
≥ The amount of documents should not exceed the limit mark on the document 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.
