Types of Documents to Avoid in the ADF
The following types of documents may cause jams in the ADF or may cause the ADF to feed more than
one sheet at a time:
•Overhead projector sheets, other plastic films, cloths or metallic sheets
•Paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, paste and similar items
•Documents with wet ink
•Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes or documents that are glued together
•Thermal or heat sensitive paper
•Tracing paper
•Copying paper such as carbon paper
•Damaged or wrinkled documents
•Photographs
•Coated paper
•Thick plastic cards such as credit cards or identification cards
•Torn sheets and documents with notches or holes, or punched or perforated sheets
•Extremely smooth or shiny paper
•Paper that is highly textured
•Paper with carbon sheets
•Carbonless (NCR) paper
If a jam occurs in the document feeder, reduce the number of sheets loaded on the feeder to about 20.
If a paper jam or feeding of more than one sheet occurs, clean the rollers as described beginning on
page 75.
If the document is not properly scanned, scan the documents by feeding individual sheets manually into
the ADF.
