■How to load documents

1. Align the edges of the document.

Align the edges of the document as follows: 1) Straighten the edges of the document.

Straighten both edges of the document stack for scanning it correctly. 2) Check the number of the sheets in the document stack.

The standard number of sheets that can be loaded on the scanner is as follows:

-A4-size paper or smaller that makes a document stack or 5mm or less (50 sheets at 64g/m2 or at 17 lb)
