≥Perforated or punched documents

≥Not rectangular or irregularly shaped documents

≥Tracing paper

≥Thermal paper

When scanning is not performed properly, try the following methods:

≥Set the feed speed to “Slow”.

≥Scan the documents by manual feeding.

≥Scan the documents with the flatbed.

The following types of documents may cause frequent jams and double feeding.

≥Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured

≥Paper with carbon

≥Carbonless paper

If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, clean the rollers.

When a jam occurs at the document feeder, reduce the number of sheets loaded on the hopper to about 20.

Types of documents to avoid

≥OHP sheets, other plastic films, cloths, or metallic sheets.

≥Paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, paste, etc.

≥Documents with wet ink

≥Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes, documents that are glued together, etc.

Be sure to remove the document from the exit tray after it is scanned.

When scanning different size documents, scanned sheets may need to be reordered for optimum performance. Thick, thin or important document should be scanned by the flatbed or fed manually one sheet at a time.
