The ScanFront can scan documents in a range of sizes from business cards to Legal/A4.

It is possible to feed documents of the following sizes and thicknesses depending on the feeding method used.

Thickness for Page Separation OFF

IMPORTANT

A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:

•When scanning a multipage document, pages must be grouped together so that they have the same size, thickness, and weight. Scanning different types of paper at one time can cause the scanner to jam.

•Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it. Scanning documents with the ink still wet may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause lines or smudges to appear on images, or dirty other documents.

•Always clean the rollers or scanning glass after scanning a document written in pencil. Scanning documents with pencil written on them may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause stripes to appear in images, or dirty other documents.

•When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. Adjust the brightness in the scanning conditions before scanning the document.
