Guidelines for Using the ADF

For best results, follow these guidelines for documents that will be scanned using the ADF (Automatic
Document Feeder):
Caution
Prior to scanning with the ADF, remove all staples and paper clips from sheets.
Recommended paper: Plain paper with a maximum sheet thickness of 2.0 to 5.9 mils (0.05 to 0.15 mm)
and weight of 10.6 to 34 pounds (40 to 127 grams/meter2). 1 mil = 1/1000 inch. The weight in pounds of
paper represents the weight of 500 sheets in the “basic sheet size” of the paper, in this case 17 x 22 inches
(432 x 559 mm). The basic sheet size is not the same for all types of paper.
Acceptable document size for the ADF:
2.75 - 25.00 inches (70 - 635 mm)
1.90 - 11.70 inches (40 - 297 mm)
