Getting your documents ready to scan
For best scanning results, follow these guidelines:
• Standard paper size documents feed easily through the scanner.
When organizing your documents for scanning, stack the documents
so the lead edges are aligned and centered in the feeder table. This
allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a
time.
Maximum thickness:
Rotary: .0015 - .035 in. (.038 mm - 0.89 mm)
Straight Pass-Through Door: .0015 - .070 in. (.038 mm - 1.78 mm)
Maximum weight: 7 to 320 lbs. (30 to 1,200 g/m2) bond
•Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and
paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.
• Glued or curled documents may cause a paper jam or damage in the
feeder.
• All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started.
• Sheets that are exceptionally thick or thin should be placed in the
feeder table manually, one sheet at a time, or you can use the
optional straight pass-through adapter.
The following types of documents may cause jams or may cause the
scanner to feed more than one sheet at a time.
- Overhead projector sheets, plastic films, cloth or metallic sheets
- Paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, paste and similar
items
- Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes or documents that
are glued together
- Thermal or heat sensitive paper
- Tracing paper

- Thick plastic cards such as credit cards or identification cards
- Torn sheets and documents with notches, holes, punched or
perforated sheets
