Choosing originals to scan
The document feeder is designed to accept standard office papers as originals. Like a copy machine, the document feeder may have problems with bent, torn, or otherwise mutilated originals.
These originals work best
The document feeder accepts paper with the following dimensions and weight:
m | paper size |
|
| length | 10 1/8 to 14 in. (257 to 356 mm) |
| width | 7 3/16 to 8 1/2 in. (182 to 216 mm) |
m | paper weight | 16 to 20 lb. bond (60 to 160 g/m2) |
These originals may cause trouble
The document feeder will not work well with
moriginals with tears, perforations, or punch holes
mcurled or wrinkled originals
m
mlabels or postcards
mthick, taped, or glued originals
Such originals will work fine if you place them directly onto the scanner, rather than feeding them through the document feeder.
Avoid valuable documents
Apple recommends that you avoid using the document feeder to scan valuable originals. Some important documents, certificates, and photographs fall within the acceptable limits for size and weight and can therefore go through the document feeder for scanning. You should be aware that paper jams sometimes occur, and such jams may damage a document. See “Bypassing the Document Feeder,” later in this chapter, for information about scanning without the feeder.
