Adjusting the Feed Roller
and Separator Roller The Gap Adjustment Knob on the front panel increases or de-
creases the space between the feed roller and separator roller.
The gap must be adjusted properly so that documents feed
smoothly without overlapping. When documents of different
thicknesses are fed in a group, adjust the gap using the thinnest
document in the group.
The feed rollers might have to be adjusted to compensate for:
• Very thin documents (onion skin, tracing paper, etc.)
• Very thick documents (card stock, punch cards, cover stock)
• Some coated documents (photographic paper, plastic coated
paper)
If the gap is not adjusted properly:
• More than one document at a time might be drawn into the
transport; not all of the documents will be scanned.
• Documents may be drawn into the transport too quickly; docu-
ments may overlap or be spaced too closely (causing an error
display).
• Documents may become skewed during transport; jamming may
occur.
To adjust the feed roller and separator roller gap:
1. Check to see that the power switch is on.
2. Turn the Gap Adjustment Knob clockwise three complete
turns to open the gap between the feed roller and the separa-
tor roller.
3. Use Function Code F04 to start the Count Only function.
4. Press Run.
5. Select two documents of similar size, texture, and thickness
to the types of documents you will be scanning.
