Follow these guidelines when you prepare a document for scanning:

When scanning long documents, set Long Document mode to ON in the user mode settings, and then scan the documents one by one.

Before scanning documents that contain pasted artwork, make sure that the ink or paste on the pages is thoroughly dry. If the documents are scanned with the ink or paste still wet, the scanner may malfunction.

If you scan a document written in pencil, the letters may not scan properly or the pencil may rub off onto the rollers and stain subsequent documents. Before you scan this kind of document, make a copy and then scan the copy. After scanning a document written in pencil or some other soft writing material, be sure to clean the scanning rollers. (See “Cleaning the Feeder” on p. 46.)

If you scan thin paper in the Duplex mode, the ink printed on the back side may be scanned. In this case, adjust the scanning density.

If you scan documents with a rough surface, friction between the documents may cause a paper jam. In this case, select [Flatbed], and then scan the documents one page at a time.

When you scan a batch of NCR documents, make sure that they are not stuck together. If a jam occurs, change the scanning side setting to ‘Flatbed’, and then scan the document one page at a time.
