6 Place the document.

Insert the document in the feed tray so that the front is facing forward and the top is facing upward.

After inserting the document in the document feeder, align the document guides with both edges of the document.

IMPORTANT

•When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

•Make sure that the document does not exceed the loading limit

marks ( ) on the document guides. Up to 30 pages of ordinary

plain paper (80 g/m2) can be loaded at the same time.

•Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These items may cause a fire or electrical shock, 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 gets caught in the scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet 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.

•If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed has been stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.

•After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray to prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.

•Although standard feeding can be used in combination with the straight path when scanning, multi-page documents will be ejected in reverse order in such cases.

•If you select the [Upside-down feeding] check box in the scanner driver settings, you can insert documents into the scanner in the opposite orientation (see p. 52, p. 76).
