2. Documents

The DR-X10C scanner can scan documents ranging in size from business cards and checks to 11" × 17"/A3 size. The size and type of paper that can be fed depends on the feeding method.

Acceptable Documents

The scanner can feed the following document sizes.

Size

Width: 2" to 12.01" (50.8 mm to 305 mm)

Length: 2.76" to 17.01" (70.0 mm to 432 mm) 2.76" to 39.37" (70.0 mm to 1 m) (using the Long Document Mode)

Hint

When the Long Document Mode is selected, Paper Size Detection can be used for scanning documents up to 39.37". (1 m) long. (See “Long Document Mode Setting” on p. 3-5.)

Paper Thickness

Page Separation Feeding: 14 to 32 lb bond (52 g/m2 to

128 g/m2) (0.06 mm to 0.15 mm)

Bypass Feeding: 11 lb to 64 lb bond (42 g/m2 to 255 g/m2) (0.05 mm to 0.30 mm)

Hint

• Continuous feeding feeds document pages one after another

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 background color and scanning brightness from the application program before scanning.

•Note that 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.
