scanned facing up, then push
them in the direction of the arrow
until they stop.
• Be sure to place the documents on
the document hopper in the length
wise direction (see the diagram to the
right).
The amount of documents should not
exceed the limit mark on the docu
ment guide. This may cause a paper
jam or skew.
26

Adjust the document guides to fit
the size of the documents to be
5
scanned.
• Accurately adjust the document
guides to the document by following
the same procedure as in step 3.
When using long size paper, pull
out the hopper extension tray

from the hopper and exit tray stop
per from the front door as shown
in the diagram to the right.
• Also adjust the exit tray stopper posi
tion for long size paper.
Loading a Document
Caution :
• For thin or thick paper, scan the document after selecting "1 page" by the hopper key. Also, remove the
document from the exit tray after it is scanned.
• The scanner will accept 13 to 42 !b paper for continuous scanning and 11 to 42 lb paper for a single scan.
• Use the slow speed mode to scan thin, creased, or damaged documents.
• When scanning thin documents, be sure to use less than 500 sheets.
• When scanning copying paper such as carbon or carbonless paper, select "1 page" by the hopper key and scan it.
• Install the document while taking care that it does not exceed the fill indicator (limit mark).
• Be sure to remove the document from the exit tray after it is scanned.
• In cases where very fragile documents are to be scanned, it is recommended to make a copy and use the
copy to scan into the unit.
Do not SCAN following types of Documents:
• OHP sheets, other plastic film, cloth, or metallic sheets.
• Paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, paste etc.
• Documents with wet ink.
• Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes, paste, ups, etc.
• Copying paper such as carbons or carbonless paper. (Chemically treated carbonless forms)
Note: Scanning chemically treated paper will result in premature wear of paper feed roller.
• Damaged or wrinkled documents.
• Unusually shaped documents.
• Tracing paper.

IScanning copying paper (such as carbon or carbonless paper)
When scanning copying paper, select "1 page" by the hopper key. (See page 9.)
Because it cannot be scanned using continuous mode.
When setting the copying paper on the hopper, lift the paper feed roller module (see
page 33) slightly and set the copying paper accurately. Then put the paper feed roller
module down on the copying paper.
Copying paper scanning can be performed from a personal computer according to the set
ting on the PC.
iHow to select the paper path for scanned document
To select the front, set the pointer lever
to the lower side.
To select the straight path pass
through to the back, set the pointer
lever to the upper side.
'Pointer lever
iWhen multiple-sheet feeding occurs
When multiple-sheet feeding occurs, ad
just the ADF selector.
• The factory pre-set is "4".
• If the paper is thin, set to "5". If the
document continues to multiple feed,
increase the selector level by one un
til the problem is corrected.
• When the top side of a thin document is
damaged (torn, creased, etc.), set to "3"
and the document will insert easier.
The amount of overlap for the separator
and retard rollers is as follows.

IHow to use the patch sheet
If the patch sheet is used, the docu
ments under the patch sheet are
scanned in accordance with the patch
code on the patch sheet regardless of
scanning condition that is selected previ
ously.
• Multiple patch sheets can be used.
• When using a patch sheet, the application
software required depends on the patch
sheet.
Caution for patch sheet
• Make a copy of the patch sheet with a copy machine and use the copy. Store the original patch sheet
in a safe place to keep it from getting dirty or losing it.
• Use the same size patch sheet as the scanning document.
• When copying the patch sheet, do not enlarge or decrease the copy size. The copied sheet's pattern
should the same size as the original sheet's pattern. Use the same density. Also, be careful the copy is
not dirty. If the copy's density is too thin (or too thick), it may not scan properly.
• When copying the patch sheet, if the pattern falls in the area from the top side of the document to 25
mm (approx. 1 inch), adjust the copy. Also, copy the patch sheet so that the pattern lies in the center
of the copy.

Be careful not to get the patch sheet dirty. Do not fold or crease the patch sheet. Scanning will not be per
