Chapter 2 How to Load Documents

zWhen you scan plastic cards, take note of the following.

- Up to three plastic cards can be loaded in the ADF paper chute.

Note that you can only load one card at a time if the plastic card is embossed.

-It is recommended to place the card face-down in the ADF paper chute.

-Cards should be within the following specifications: ISO7810 ID-1 type compliant

Size

: 85.6 × 53.98 mm

Thickness

: 1.4 mm or less (*1)

Material

: PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PVCA (polyvinyl

 

chloride acetate)

Make sure to check if the card can be scanned first.

*1: Up to 1.25 mm is supported for scanning at 200 dpi (60 ppm) in landscape when using fi-6140Z/fi-6240Z. This setting can be changed in the Software Operation Panel to scan plastic cards with a thickness up to 1.4 mm. For details, refer to " Scanning Thick Plastic Cards [Feed Mode] (fi-6140Z/fi-6240Z)" (page 179).

-Rigid cards may not be fed properly.

-If the surface of the card is dirty with grease marks (e.g. fingerprints) and such, perform scanning after wiping the dirt off.

-Plastic cards cannot be scanned when the imprinter is connected.

-Scanning thick documents such as plastic cards will be falsely detected as multifeed. In that case, disable multifeed detection.

zWhen scanning semi-transparent documents, increase the brightness for scanning to avoid bleed-through.

zWhen you scan documents written in 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 about cleaning, refer to "Chapter 6 Daily Care" (page 108).

zIf multifeeds, pick errors or paper jams occur frequently, refer to "8.3 Troubleshooting" (page 130).

zWhen you scan documents with the ADF, all 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.
