7.8 Scanning Mixed Documents

When scanning documents of different thickness/Friction Coefficients/sizes using this scanner, the following restrictions apply. Before you scan any mixed documents, always test scan a few pages to see if the mixed document can be properly fed.

(For details on how to scanning mixed documents, refer to “3.3 Scanning Documents with different widths” on page 67.)

■Types of Documents

It is recommended to align the paper direction (how the fibers are lying in the sheet) with the feeding direc- tion.

■The Thickness of Documents

The mixed documents’ paper weight (thickness) should be in the range below: 31 to 209g/m2 (8.3 to 56.1lb; 0.04 to 0.25mm)

For paper sizes equal or bigger than B4: 52 to 157 g/m2 (14 to 42 lb)

■The Friction Coefficients

Paper of same manufacturer’s same brand is recommended. When paper of different manufactuerers/ brands are mixed, the differences of their friction coefficients become very large, which will adversely affecting the feeding performance.

Generally speaking, the friction coefficients of different kinds of paper shall be in the range of 0.35 - 0.64.

■Document Sizes

Refer to the table below when mixing documents of different sizes.

ATTENTION

•When scanning mixed size document, because the hopper side guides will not function, the scanned images are easily skewed.

We recommend you to enable “Automatic Page Size Detection”.

•Multifeed Detection by length cannot be used together with “Automatic Page Size Detection”.
