About Documents

This page explains the types of documents that can be used on the scanner and precautions when loading documents on the document tray.

Types of Documents

The scanner can accommodate documents of the following width, length and

thickness:
Width:	55 to 297 mm (2.2 x 11.7 in.)
Length:	70 to 432 mm (2.8 x 17.0 in.)

Thickness:0.06 to 0.15 mm (0.002 in. to 0.005 in.) (at manual feed: 0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.001 in. to 0.007 in.))

Follow the following guidelines when you prepare a document for scanning:

●Do not scan documents with ink still wet. If documents are scanned with ink still wet, the inside of the scanner may become dirty. Be sure to allow wet ink on documents to dry before they are scanned.

●If you scan a document written in pencil, the letters may disappear as the document is fed through the scanner or graphite from the surface of the document may transfer to and stain the scanning rollers. Before you scan these kind of documents, make a copy on a copier and then scan the copy. If you have scanned a document written in pencil or some other soft writing materials by mistake, be sure to clean the scanning rollers after scanning. (See “Cleaning the Scanning Glasses and Rollers” P. 75)

●If you scan thin paper in the duplex mode, ink printed on one side may be legible on the other side. If this happens, adjust the brightness.

●If you scan a slippery surface document, friction may cause a feed error to occur. If this happens, slide the paper feed adjustment lever (See “Paper Feed Adjustment” P. 36) to adjust paper feed.

●To avoid paper jams, damage to documents and scanner malfunction, do not feed the following types of paper into the scanner. If you want to scan these types of paper, first make a copy on a copier and then scan the copy.

Wrinkled or creased paper

Curled paper

Torn paper

Paper with clips or staples

Carbon-backed paper

Coated paper

Onion skin or other thin paper
