1 Introduction Overview The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF-600L / ADF-600EL) is a companion sheet feeder for Microtek's ScanMaker series scanners. It allows automatic scanning of up to 25 sheets, with dimension of the document as large as 8 1/2" x 14". Sheets to be scanned are fed from a stack in the Automatic Document Feeder's input tray, guided past the scanner's image sensor, and placed in the feeder's output tray.

After unpacking the package box, make sure that you have received all of the items.

Paper Loading Before loading the Automatic Document Feeder, check to see if the transparent guide flap is firmly attached in place and if the protective film is removed as described in Chapter 2. If the film has not been removed, scanned documents will jam against the base of the feeder, rather than being moved into the output tray.
Correcting Paper Jams To remove the jammed pages: 1. Press the Automatic Document Feeder locking button, this disengages the Automatic Document Feeder transportation module. 2. Lift the transportation module and pull out the free end of the guide flap, then grasp both free corners of the jammed sheet and pull it out slowly. 3. Lower the Automatic Document Feeder transportation module down, and snap to close it.
4 Maintenance Guide Flap Cleaning and Replacement The guide flap on the base of the ADF keeps documents at the correct scanning position and guides them into the output tray after scanning. To prevent printing ink and other contaminants from accumulating on the flap and interfering with image quality, wipe it periodically with a ink-free cloth or swab cotton swab moistened with industrial alcohol.
