Preparing Documents

Acceptable Documents
The acceptable documents for this scanner are as follows.
Document size: Paper thickness: 40–209 g/m² (11–55 lb.)
The height of all the documents on the tray should be less
48–216 mm than 7.5 mm (0.3 in.).
(1.9–8.5 in.) This compares to 75 sheets (80 g/m² or 20 lb.) of new
paper.
With the exception of ISO format cards, the minimum
guaranteed feeding length is 70 mm (2.8 in.).
70–2540 mm Single paper feeding is recommended for papers

Thickness: 0.76 mm (0.03 in.)
Embossed card is also acceptable.

A maximum of 3 cards can be loaded on the feed tray. The height of the total cards (the total thickness including
the embossing on each card) should be less than 5 mm (0.2 in.). Additionally, the embossing on each card
must not get entangled with others.
Use the landscape orientation when scanning an embossed card. If the scanning fails, place the card upside
down, and then try again.
Use the mixed batch card guide (page 25) when scanning mixed media (cards and papers) at the same time.

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 feed tray.
– Change the scanning resolution.

Notes about double feed detection

• This scanner is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to detect double feeding.
The width of documents that can be detected is A5 or larger (148 mm (5.8 in.)).

18 Operating Manual
 Operation

Scanning Documents
Notice
• 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.

1. Fan the documents.

• Documents that have been stapled together or stacked together (as in a file folder) will need to be
separated.
Fan the stack of documents to separate all the edges.
Hold both ends and bend the documents as shown in the illustration.
To flatten the documents, hold firmly and pull them apart as shown in the illustration.

Using the mixed batch card guide

Set paper documents on the feed tray, and a card on the mixed batch card guide respectively.
• The card set on the mixed batch card guide is fed after completing the paper document scanning.
• The mixed batch card guide is suitable for the following card.
ISO format card:
Size: 85.6 x 54 mm (3.4 x 2.1 in.)
Thickness: 0.76 mm (0.03 in.)
Embossed card is also available.

• Set the card horizontally.

Note
• When using the mixed batch card guide, the document guides cannot be adjusted to less than A5 size.
• Set only one card at a time.
• Make sure that the total height of the paper on the feed tray does not exceed 2 mm (0.08 in.). This is
equivalent to about 20 sheets at 80 g/m² or 20 lb.
