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
•Photographic paper
•Paper with perforations on its side
•Very thin paper
