∫Notes about documents for scanning
≥Depending on the paper type, scanning results may be poor when you scan unacceptable documents, or even
documents that should be acceptable.
If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, try scanning again after doing the following:
– Clean the rollers and sensors.
– Reduce the number of sheets of paper loaded on the hopper.
– Change the orientation of documents placed in portrait orientation to landscape orientation, or vice versa.
– Scan the documents using manual feeding.
– Set the feed speed to “Slow”.
– Scan the documents with the flatbed.
≥Make sure to remove paper clips and staples from documents before scanning. Failing to do so can damage the
unit, document, or both.
≥Curled documents may cause a paper jam or damaging the document, therefore, set the document flat before
scanning.
≥When scanning important documents, confirm that the number of scanned images matches the number of pages
in the document.
≥Remove documents from the exit tray after they have been scanned.
Document thickness The ratio of page thickness between the thickest and thinnest
pages must be less than 1.5.
