Feeder
Use the feeder when you want to scan several originals at a time. With the feeder,
the machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning area and scans them.
If you are scanning in the 2-Sided mode, two-sided originals can also be
automatically turned over and scanned as two-sided documents.
Originals loaded in the feeder must meet the requirements outlined below.
IMPORTANT
The Feeder (DADF-AA1/-AB1) is optional for the imageRUNNER 2545/2535/2530/
2525/2520. (See “Feeder (DADF-AA1/-AB1),” on p. 4-7.)
Do not place the following types of originals in the feeder:
- Originals with tears, five or more binding holes, or cutouts
- Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds
- Wrinkled originals
- Stapled originals or originals with paper clips
- Tabbed originals
- Originals with adhesive tape or glue
- Originals that are taped together
- Carbon backed paper or other originals which may not feed smoothly
- Transparencies and other highly transparent originals
If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or
become creased, making it impossible to feed. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum
of 30 times. (This number may vary depending on the type and quality of the original.)
Clean the feeder regularly. (See “Feeder Scanning Area and Rollers,” on p. 5-31.) The
feeder rollers may become dirty if originals written in pencil are scanned.
Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder.
Set the originals one by one when scanning very thin (37 to 52 g/m
2
) or very thick (105
to 128 g/m
2
) originals with the feeder of the imageRUNNER 2530i/2525i/2520i or the
optional Feeder (DADF-AB1).
