HINT

When scanning semi-transparent documents, set the density to light to avoid a bleed through.

To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents con- taining large areas written or filled with pencil. If scanning of such docu- ments is inevitable, clean the rollers more frequently.

When feeding errors, paper jams and multifeeds occur frequently, refer to “2.9 Setting the Paper Thickness” on page 29.
