3. Placing Documents
There are two methods for paper separation, called the page separation mode and bypass mode for feeding documents. Feeding documents continuously from a stack of documents placed in the feed tray is called the page separation mode. Feeding documents one sheet at a time by hand or feeding multiple sheet documents, such as invoices that are attached at one end, is called the bypass mode. The document feed method can be switched by moving the feed selection lever.
IMPORTANT
•Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These objects may damage the document, or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
•Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power cord to stop scanning.
•Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is curled, it may cause a paper jam.
•When continuously scanning documents on thin paper in page separation mode, the pages may be wrinkled or folded and cause a paper jam. If this happens, scan the document in the bypass mode.
