Document loading tips

•The maximum capacity of the document feeder and output tray varies by paper size and weight. For 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper (the standard weight for most printer and photocopier paper), the maximum capacity is 150 sheets. For heavier paper, the maximum capacity is less. For card stock, the maximum capacity of the document feeder is 10 cards.

•Many documents scan faster if the longer edge is inserted first into the document feeder. However, you should avoid feeding a document with a leading edge that has been folded or frayed. The page loading selection for the profile you select must match whichever edge you are feeding first.

•Be sure that your documents are within these guidelines:

	Width	Length	Weight (or
			thickness)
Standard stock (single page)	52-300 mm	74-864 mm	60-120 g/m2
	(2.0-11.8 in)	(2.9-34 in)	(16-32 lbs)
Standard stock (multiple pages)	52-300 mm	74-432 mm	42-120 g/m2
	(2.0-11.8 in)	(2.9-17 in)	(11-32 lbs)
Card stock	52-74 mm	74-105 mm	253-326 g/m2
	(2.0-2.9 in)	(2.9-4.1 in)	(12-15 pts)
Polyvinyl chloride or Polyvinyl	52-88 mm	86-125 mm	1.2 mm (0.047
chloride acetate (for ID cards	(2.0-3.5 in)	(3.4-4.9 in)	in) or less

•In the scanning software, always specify the following items:

◦Set the page size to match the width and length of the paper that you are scanning.

◦Select a profile whose page loading selection matches the edge you are feeding first.
