•Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to the documents.

		Wrinkled or creased				Curled documents
		documents

		Torn documents				Documents with paper clips
						or staples

		Carbon paper				Coated paper

		Extremely thin, translucent				Paper with adhesive notes or
		paper				flags attached

		Photos				Overhead transparencies

		Papers that are stuck				Paper with wet substances
		together				such as glue or correction
						fluid

•Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is curled or folded, it may cause a paper jam.

•When loading paper that is smaller than 74 mm (2.9 in) in one dimension (such as business cards), place the pages with the long side parallel to the paper guides.

•To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper), place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve no wider than 216 mm (8.5 in) before loading them into the document feeder.

TIP: If you do not have an appropriately-sized document sleeve, consider using a sleeve intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the sleeve is no more than 216 mm (8.5 in) wide.

•Make sure that the hatch on the document feeder is securely latched. To properly close the hatch, press until you hear a click.

•Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Make sure that the paper guides touch the edges of the original. If there is any clearance between the paper guides and the edges of the documents, the scanned image might be skewed.

•When placing a stack of documents into the feeder, gently set the stack in the document feeder. Do not drop the stack into the feeder and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed the stack in the document feeder.

•Clean the scanning rollers if the rollers are visibly dirty or after scanning a document that has pencil writing on it.
