≥ 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 fed manually one sheet at a time.

≥ When scanning very important documents, confirm if the number of scanned images matches the number of
actual pages.

∫ How to use the control sheet and separation sheet
If the control sheet is used, the documents
under 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.

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 adjusting the shading clean the scanning section glasses and both sides of the reference plates of the upper
and the lower. (See pages 34 through 35 and 37 through 42.)
Set the plates to white side before adjusting the shading.
Do not turn off scanner while shading is being performed. This step will take approximately 5 minutes.
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
Switch on the power while pressing the
1
3 key.
The LCD displays as shown on the
right. When “High Speed Scanner”
message appears on the LCD, release
the 4 key.
Place the shading paper side ways on
2
the ADF hopper.

Shading Adjustment
The shading paper will be fed into the
4
scanner in a little while after the
shading start. You will hear a clicking
sound while shading is being
performed. Be sure not to open the
front door or turn off the power.
After the shading paper is ejected, the
5
“Turn Plates!” message will appear,
open the front door and change the
upper and the lower reference plates to
the black side. (See pages 34 through
35.)
Be sure not to turn of the power.
Close the front door.

The scanner will continue
automatically.
≥ The shading restarts and the LCD
displays as shown on the right.

LCD displays as shown on the right.
Press the HOME key.

≥ The LCD display returns to “Ready”.
Note: If you need to use white reference, please remember to rotate the reference plates back to white.
¥ 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 image sensor cover 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.
