Items for the ADF

The HP Scanjet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), which is a fast, convenient way to scan multiple-page items, is included or supported on some scanner models. See "Front panel and accessories comparisons" on page 3. The ADF accepts items that meet the following specifications:

￿	items on standard Letter-, A4-, and Legal-size media
￿	items consisting of as many as 25 unbound pages
￿	items ranging in size from 88.9 by 127 mm (3.5 by 5 inches) to
	215.9 by 355.6 mm (8.5 by 14 inches)
￿	items ranging in weight from 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb)
￿	items that are square or rectangular and in good condition (not
	fragile or worn)
￿	items that are free of tears, perforations, or punch holes
￿	items that are free of wet glue, correction fluid, or ink

Avoid multipart forms with carbon pages, transparencies, magazine pages, gum-backed pages, and light “onionskin” pages.

Before placing an item in the ADF, prepare the item by doing the following:

￿	Remove curls or wrinkles.
￿	Remove staples, paper clips, paper sticky notes, and any other
	materials from items.

If your item does not meet these guidelines or you cannot prepare it as stated, use the scanner glass.
