The following types of documents may cause frequent jams and double feeding.
≥ Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
≥ Paper with carbon
≥ Carbonless paper
If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, clean the rollers.
When a jam occurs at the document feeder, reduce the number of sheets loaded on the hopper to about 20.
Types of documents to avoid
≥ OHP sheets, other plastic films, cloths, or metallic sheets.
≥ Paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, paste, etc.
≥ Documents with wet ink
≥ Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes, documents that are glued together, etc.
Be sure to remove the document from the exit tray after it is scanned.
When scanning different size documents, scanned sheets may need to be reordered for optimum performance.
Thick, thin or important document should be scanned by the flatbed or fed manually one sheet at a time.

Loading Documents on the Flatbed
One sheet or an entire book document can be scanned on the document glass.
Scanning documents in this way is known as “scanning with the flatbed”.
Caution
≥ Do not place floppy disks or any items containing magnetic data strips on the flatbed. Magnets are located in the
flatbed cover (flatbed sheet) and may damage data stored on floppy disks and magnetic strips.

∫ Scanning thick documents
When scanning thick documents such as a book, please note the following items:
≥ Please note that areas of the document which are not touching the flatbed glass will not be scanned properly.
≥ If the document moves during scanning, please note that it will not be scanned properly.
∫ When scanning with the flatbed repeatedly
≥ Keep the hopper tray raised, open and close the document cover only.

∫ How to use the control sheet
If the control sheet is used, the documents
behind the control sheet are scanned in
accordance with the code on the control
sheet regardless of scanning condition that
is selected previously.
≥ Multiple control sheets can be used.
≥ When using a control sheet, the application
software required depends on the control
sheet.
≥ Print out control sheets from the provided CD-
ROM.
Cautions:
≥ Use the same size control sheet as the
scanning document.
≥ When printing the control sheet, if the pattern
falls in the area from the top side of the
document to 25 mm, adjust the printer.
Also, copy the control sheet so that the pattern
lies in the center of the copy.
≥ Be careful not to get the control sheet dirty.
Do not fold or crease the control sheet.
Scanning will not be performed properly.

≥ When the jammed paper cannot be
removed, remove it from the exit path.
Refer to page 25.
≥ When only the bottom end of jammed
paper is visible, open the exit door while
leaving the ADF door open to remove the
jammed paper. Pulling the jammed paper
with the ADF door closed may damage

Shading Adjustment
¥What is the purpose of the shading adjustment?
The process whereby the variations in the distribution of the lamp’s light quantity are transformed into a fixed output
within the scanning range is known as shading adjustment. It can be carried out by means of the User Utility using
the special shading paper which is provided with this scanner.
¥When shading adjustment is required
Proceed with the compensation when the colors in some parts of the scanned images differ in the extreme, or when
the image quality fails to be improved even after the inside the scanner is cleaned.
¥Before proceeding with the shading adjustment
Before proceeding, be absolutely sure to thoroughly clean the ADF glass (F) area, ADF glass (B) area, reference
plate (F) and reference plate (B) as well as the transport path and drive rollers of the scanning unit.
If the shading adjustment is carried out while these parts are still dirty, it will not be possible to eliminate the lines that
form on the scanned images.
¥Shading adjustment procedure
1. Start the User Utility.
2. Click “User Shading” on the main menu, and operate as the image display dictates. For further details, refer to
section 4.6 in the User Utility Reference Manual.
¥Caution
If the scanned images are still lined after the shading adjustment has been performed and if these lines are not eliminated even after the ADF glass areas have been cleaned, it means that the shading has not been compensated
properly. Clean the parts again, and then proceed with the shading adjustment.
