Chapter 2 Loading Documents

Loading Documents with Tabs or Non-Rectangular Documents

To scan a document with a tab attached at its bottom or a non- rectangular document, place it on the scanner so that its tab or clipped section will be fed last through the ADF.

Good Example:

Feeding direction

Ex: Tab

Ex: Non-rectangler document

Bad Example:

Easy-to-tear section

Feeding direction

Ex: Tab

Ex: Non-rectangler document

•If scanning a document as in the bad example above, the

！indicated section may be caught during feeding. This might cause a paper jam or make the document torn.

•If the non-rectangular section or tab of the document (see the figures above) is off the paths of the two Feed Rollers inside, it will not be fed properly. As a result, this part will remain in the ADF, and make the scanned image elongated accordingly.

Multifeed Detection Conditions

A multifeed refers to an error that occurs when more than one sheet of paper is fed into the ADF at the same time.

There are three modes to detect multifeeds: document overlapping, document length, and both document overlapping and length. The following conditions must be satisfied in each of these detection modes.

Detection By Document Overlapping

•Load sheets of the same thickness on the ADF at a time.

•Document paper weight: of 31 g/m2 to 209 g/m2 (8.3 lb to 56.1 lb) (0.04 mm to 0.26 mm or 0.002 in. to 0.010 in.)

•Punched holes are not allowed within 35 mm (1.38 in.) of the vertical center line of document.

•Do not glue separate paper within 35 mm (1.38 in.) of the vertical center line of document.

Detection By Document Length

•Load sheets of the same length on the ADF at a time.

•Document length deviation: 1% or less

•Punched holes are not allowed within 35 mm (1.38 in.) of the vertical center line of document.

Detection By Document Overlapping and Length

•Load sheets of the same thickness and same length on the ADF at a time.

•Document thickness: 31 g/m2 to 209 g/m2 (8.3 lb to 56.1 lb) (0.04 mm to 0.26 mm or 0.002 in. to 0.010 in.)

•Document length deviation: 1% or less

•Punched holes are not allowed within 35 mm (1.38 in.) of the vertical center line of document.

•Do not glue separate paper within 35 mm (1.38 in.) of the vertical center line of document.
