Chapter 2 How to Load Documents
Conditions for Multifeed DetectionMultifeed is an error when two or more sheets are fed through the ADF at once. It is also called a “multifeed” when a different document length is detected.
Multifeed detection is performed by either checking the overlapping of documents, length of the documents, or the combination of both. The following conditions are required for an accurate detection.
Detection by overlappingz | Load documents of the same thickness onto the hopper. |

The above condition applies when the document is set to the center of the pick roller width.

zThe rate of multifeed detection may drop with some documents. Multifeed cannot be detected in the area of 15 mm from the leading edge of the document.
