For details about the paper size and quality required for normal operations, refer to "2.3 Documents for Scanning (ADF)" (page 41).

1 If you are loading multiple sheets, check the documents.

1Check if the documents to be loaded are of the same width or different widths.

Ways to load documents differ depending on whether they are the same width or not.

If the document width varies, refer to "Conditions for Mixed Batch Scanning" (page 47) or "Documents with Different Widths" (page 69).

Up to 50 sheets can be loaded (with paper weight of 80 g/m² [20 lb] and thickness of the document stack under 5 mm).

For details, refer to "Loading Capacity" (page 44).

1Grab a stack of documents, which should be 5 mm or less.

2Hold both ends of the documents and fan them a few times.

3Rotate the documents by 90 degrees and fan them in the same manner.

4Perform steps 1 to 3 for all documents.

5Align the edges of the documents.
