Notes about Documents for Scanning
• Depending on the paper type, scanning results may be poor when you scan incompatible documents, or
even documents that should be compatible.
If scanned images are skewed, paper jams occur, or double feeding occurs, try scanning again after doing
the following:
– Clean the inside of the scanner (page 51)
– Reduce the number of sheets of paper loaded on the feed tray.
– Change the orientation of documents placed in portrait orientation to landscape orientation, or vice
versa.
– In the scan settings, set "Feeding Speed" to [Slow].
*1
– Scan the documents using manual scanning.
*1
For details about configuring the scan settings, refer to the Image Capture Plus, TWAIN, or ISIS help.
Notes about Double Feed Detection
This unit uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect double feeding (where two or more sheets of a document are fed
at the same time).
• Double feeding cannot be detected with unsupported paper types.
• Even with supported types of cards, scanning them in portrait orientation may result in the detection of a
double feed. In this case, try scanning them in landscape orientation, or disable the double feed detection.
• Documents must be 70 mm (2.8 in.) or longer for double feed detection to function.

Continuous scanning (Auto)
This setting is for feeding documents one page at a time automatically.

Using the Mixed Batch Card Guide
Set paper documents on the feed tray, and a card on the mixed batch card guide respectively.
• The card set on the mixed batch card guide is fed after completing the paper document scanning.
• The mixed batch card guide is suitable for the following card type.
ISO format card:
Size:
Thickness: 0.76 mm (0.03 in.)
Embossed card is also available.
• Set the card in landscape orientation.
• A maximum of 3 cards can be set in the mixed batch card guide.
• Ensure that the embossed portions of cards do not stick together.
• If acceptable results cannot be obtained, try changing the scanning orientation or reversing the scan face
of the card, and then perform scanning again.
Note
• When using the mixed batch card guide, the document guides cannot be adjusted to less than A5 size.
• Make sure that the total height of the paper on the feed tray does not exceed 2 mm (0.08 in.). (This is
equivalent to about 20 sheets at 80 g/m² [21 lb.].)
