Preventing paper jams

Your automatic document feeder is designed to handle most paper types. However, if you are unsure if your document will cause a jam in the automatic document feeder, we recommend that you scan it using the flatbed.

The following cannot be properly fed by the automatic document feeder:

Paper with clip or staple attached

Paper with ink not totally dry

Paper with inconsistent thickness, such as envelopes

Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears

Tracing paper, coated paper, carbonless paper

Paper that is too large or too small (use flatbed instead)

Items other than papers, such as cloth, metal, or OHP film

Notched paper

Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape

Photographic paper

Paper with perforations on its side

Very thin paper
