scanner to the Long Document mode.)

Paper thickness

Normal feed: 27 to 209 g/m2 (7 to 56 lb bond) 0.04 mm to

 

0.25 mm (0.00157" to 0.00984")

Bypass:

27 to 255 g/m2 (7 to 68 lb bond) 0.04 mm to

 

0.3 mm (0.00157" to 0.0118")

IMPORTANT

The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the following items carefully.

•When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers by aligning the centers and leading edges of the documents.

Align the centers

Align the leading edges

Feed roller

•It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") size are fed one sheet at a time.

•Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.

•Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after scanning such 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. In this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software before scanning the document.

•When the paper of the document is thin, switch to thin paper mode and then feed the document. For details, see “Placing Thin Paper (Thin Paper Mode)” on p. 28.

•Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy.
