Chapter 2 How to Load Documents

The following types of documents must not be scanned:

zPaper-clipped or stapled documents

zDocuments on which the ink is still wet

zDocuments smaller than A8 size

zDocuments wider than 216 mm (8.5 in.)

zDocuments other than paper such as fabric, metal foil and OHP film

zImportant documents such as certificates and cash vouchers which must not be damaged

zSince carbonless paper contains chemical substances that

may harm the rollers (e.g. pick roller), take note of the following:

Cleaning

: If paper jams occur frequently, clean

 

the pad assy and pick roller.

 

For details, refer to "Chapter 6 Daily

 

Care" (page 85).

Parts replacement

: The life of the pad assy and pick

 

roller may end sooner compared to

 

scanning wood-containing papers.

zWhen scanning wood-containing papers, the life of the pad assy and pick roller may end sooner compared to scanning wood-free papers.

zPad assy and pick roller may be damaged when a photo/ sticky note on the document contacts these parts during scanning.

zThe surface of the document may be damaged when scanning gloss papers such as photographs.

zTo scan documents that are semi-transparent, slide the [Brightness] bar to light to avoid bleed through.

zWhen you scan documents written with lead pencil, make sure to clean the rollers frequently. Otherwise, the rollers will be contaminated which may leave black traces on the document or cause feeding errors.

For details, refer to "Chapter 6 Daily Care" (page 85).

zIf multifeeds, pick errors or paper jams occur frequently, refer to "8.3 Troubleshooting" (page 104) for troubleshooting.

zAll documents must be flat on the leading edge. Make sure that curls on the leading edge of the documents are kept

within the following range.
