•Documents with hard items attached such as paper clips, binder clips, and staples.

Select the Paper Feeding Options

There are paper feed options that you can adjust using the scanner control panel. Adjust these options based on the type of documents you are scanning.

Hopper—the up and down arrows adjust the height of the input tray based on the amount of paper in the input tray. The scanner will automatically raise the tray during scanning, but if you regularly scan small batches of paper, you may want to keep the input tray higher to save time adjusting the height automatically while scanning.

ADF—this button changes the scanner from automatic feeding (first option) to manual feeding (second option). When automatic feeding is selected, the scanner automatically raises the input tray during scanning. When manual feeding is selected, the input tray is raised to the top for feeding one page, or stacks of very few pages, at a time. When you are using a scanning interface with a manual feed mode option, switch the scanner to manual feed mode as well.

Thickness—this option adjusts how close the rollers are to each other. Tap this button to cycle through the options and select the option that matches the thickness of the paper you are scanning.
