scanner.

Check for broken or missing document feeder tray guides and replace as necessary.

The maximum scannable page length is 39 inches (991 mm). If the page is longer, scanning stops at 39 inches (991 mm).

Do not try to pull the page out because you may damage the document scanner. To remove the page, open the document release door and remove the jammed media.

Then, rescan the page. When the document scanner reaches the 39 inches (991 mm) mark, the control panel displays Long Page? START to Continue for a few moments only. Quickly press START to continue scanning. If you do not, the message disappears and the document scanner stops scanning because it thinks the page has jammed.

If you are sending a fax or copying a document longer than 39 inches (991 mm), you can also set the control panel configuration to “Send long pages,” which ensures that long pages feed without having to monitor the task and press START before the document scanner shuts off.
