Paper thickness: 40–209 g/m² (11–55 lb.) The height of all the documents on the tray should be less than 7.5 mm (0.3 in.). This compares to 75 sheets (80 g/m² or 20 lb.) of new paper. With the exception of ISO format cards, the minimum guaranteed feeding length is 70 mm (2.8 in.).
Operation Unacceptable Documents The following types of documents may not scan properly: • Curled, wrinkled or folded documents Documents must also meet the following conditions Curl Less than 5 mm (0.2 in.) Folding Less than 5 mm (0.2 in.
Operation Notes about documents for scanning • Depending on the paper type, scanning results may be poor when you scan unacceptable documents, or even documents that should be acceptable. If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, try scanning again after doing the following: – Clean the rollers and sensors. – Reduce the number of sheets of paper loaded on the feed tray. – Change the scanning resolution.
Operation Scanning Documents Notice • Make sure to remove paper clips and staples from documents before scanning. Failing to do so can damage the unit, document, or both. • Curled documents may cause a paper jam or damaging the document, therefore, set the document flat before scanning. When scanning important documents, confirm that the number of scanned images matches the number of pages in the document. Remove documents from the exit tray after they have been scanned. • • 1. Fan the documents.
Operation 2. Adjust the document guides (A) slightly larger than the actual size of the documents. 1 3. Carefully align the documents. • The documents feed better when the leading edges are aligned slantwise as shown in the illustration.
Operation 4. Place the documents on the feed tray with the side to be scanned facing down. • Set the leading edge of documents as shown in the illustration (A). 1 Note • • Place the documents as shown in the illustration. The height of all the documents on the tray should be less than 7.5 mm (0.3 in.). Exceeding this height might cause paper jams or skewing. 5. Adjust the document guides (A) to the size of the documents to be scanned. 1 6. Open your scanning application*1 and scan the documents.

Appendix A p p e Troubleshooting n If a problem occurs while the scanner is being used, check the following items and check the scanner status with User Utility. If the unit still malfunctions, turn it OFF, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and call for service. d i x Symptom The ready indicator does not light when the power switch is turned ON. The computer does not recognize the scanner. The scanner is not functioning correctly. Scan speed is slow.
