Xerox 1200, 27, 30, 600 Choosing originals to scan

Choosing originals to scan

The document feeder is designed to accept standard office papers as

originals. Like a copy machine, the document feeder may have problems with

bent, torn, or otherwise mutilated originals.

The document feeder accepts paper with the following dimensions and

weight:

mpaper size

length 10 1/8 to 14 in. (257 to 356 mm)

width 7 3/16 to 8 1/2 in. (182 to 216 mm)

mpaper weight 16 to 20 lb. bond (60 to 160 g/m2)

The document feeder will not work well with

moriginals with tears, perforations, or punch holes

mcurled or wrinkled originals

mcarbon-backed originals or originals on coarse paper

mlabels or postcards

mthick, taped, or glued originals

Such originals will work fine if you place them directly onto the scanner,

rather than feeding them through the document feeder.

Apple recommends that you avoid using the document feeder to scan valuable

originals. Some important documents, certificates, and photographs fall

within the acceptable limits for size and weight and can therefore go through

the document feeder for scanning. You should be aware that paper jams

sometimes occur, and such jams may damage a document. See “Bypassing the

Document Feeder,” later in this chapter, for information about scanning

without the feeder.
