Chapter 5 Various Ways to Scan
Besides the normal automatic document feeding in which you load a batch of documents on the hopper and scan them one by one, you can also use the “Manual Feed mode” where you manually feed each sheet and perform scanning.
Normally, in automatic feeding, the scanner stops scanning once all the loaded documents are scanned.
In manual feeding, the scanner waits for the next sheet to be set within a specified time. It continues scanning if an additional document is loaded within the specified time, or stops scanning if no document is loaded.
With this option, you can perform scanning as you check the documents one by one.
Manual feeding is effective for:
zScanning as you check the contents of each sheet
zScanning documents that cause multifeed or paper jam when they are loaded together
zContinuously scanning documents such as clippings of magazines and newspapers which cannot be loaded together at once
zPaper Protection is disabled in Manual Feed mode.
zPause function ([Send to/Pause] button) is disabled during manual feeding.
There are two modes in manual feeding.
Single Feed modeOnly one sheet is manually fed and scanned.
zSuitable for scanning thick papers, envelopes and folded papers that are difficult to scan by automatic feeding (In case of folded paper, make the folding line as the leading edge).
zReduces the pressure applied on the document when it enters the ADF (because the pick roller does not touch the document).
zUsed to accurately feed and scan one sheet of document.
zNo paper separation force is applied regardless of the paper separation force setting (five levels). Therefore, this mode enables you to scan documents such as envelopes which cause paper jams in automatic document feeding.
Continuous Feed modeMultiple sheets of document are manually fed one at a time and continuously scanned.
zDocuments are scanned one by one even if multiple sheets are mistakenly fed.
zWhen you scan more than one sheet, you can check every sheet as you scan.
zUsed to accurately feed and scan multiple sheets of documents.
zThe paper separation force setting (five levels) is enabled as with scanning in automatic document feeding. Adjust the paper separation force when multifeeds, pick errors or paper jams occur frequently.
