2.2Loading Documents on ADF

This section explains how to check the document condition and load them on ADF. These operations are very important to avoid paper jam or scanning error.

2.2.1 Checking document conditionCheck that the document meets the following condition.

HINT

•If the documents do not meet the conditions, scan them on Flatbed referring to "Loading Document on Flatbed" on page.17

•If you scan sheets of paper that is not recommended for feeding with ADF, a paper jam may occur in the scanner or a wrinkle may occur on a sheet. To prevent this from occurring, use Flatbed when scanning such paper.

■Document Size

For ADF:

Minimum 115 (Width) x 140 (Length) mm

(4.53 x 5.51 in.)

 

Maximum 216 (Width) x 355 (Length) mm

(8.5 x 14 in.)

■Document TypeThe following paper types are recommended for ADF scanning:•Woodfree paper•Wood containing paper

When using documents other than above paper types, scan som test sheets of the same type to see if the documents can be scanned or not, before attempting to scan the documents.

■Document Thickness

Paper thickness is generally expressed by "paper weight". The following shows the paper weights that can be used on this scanner:

•52 g/m2 to 127 g/m2 (14lb to 34lb)■PrecautionsThe following documents may not be scanned successfully:

•Documents of non-uniform thickness (e.g. envelopes and documents with photographs attached)
