Adjusting the feed and
separator roller gap The gap adjustment knob on the Control Panel increases or decreases
the space between the feed and separator r ollers. The gap must be
adjusted properly for smooth transportation of documents without
document overlap.
When documents of different thicknesses are fed in a group, adjust the
gap using the thinnest document in the gr oup.
The feed and separator roller gap may ha ve to be adjusted to
compensate for:
• Very thin documents ( onion skin, tracing paper, etc.).
• Very thick document s (card stock, punch cards, cover stock).
• Some coated documen ts (photographic paper, plastic-coated paper) .
If the gap is not adjusted properly:
• More than one docum ent at a time may be drawn into the transport
system at the same time; not all of the d ocuments will be scanned.
• Documents may be dr awn into the transport too quickly; documents
may overlap or be spaced to closely (causing a n error display).
• Documents may becom e skewed during transport; jamming may
occur.
NOTE: Prior to performing the adjustment procedure outlined in this
section, the Scanner must be calibrated and enabled.
1. Turn on the Side Panel Switch.
2. Enter Function Code F04 and enable count ing-only.
3. Press Enter.
4. Press Run.
IMPORTANT: Do not make a gap adjustment whi le documents are in
the feeder or transport system; doing so w ill produce an
inaccurate adjustment.
