Using the Scanner Documents This scanner is able to scan documents ranging in size from business cards to legal size documents. The scannable size range is: Width: 2.2 in. to 8.5 in. (55 mm to 216 mm) Length: 2.8 in. to 11.7 in. (70 mm to 297 mm) with page separation mode 2.8 in.
Loading a Document for Scanning Make preparations based on the size of the document and the feeding method that you want to use, and then load the document for scanning. Preparing for Scanning Open the top cover. Check the position of the feed selection lever and set it according to the type of document being loaded.
Align and set the document stop provided with the unit to the size of the document to be scanned. By using the document stop, you can prevent documents from becoming disorganized when they come out from the document eject opening. Place at a distance greater than the length of the document to be scanned.
Loading a Document for Scanning Notice When loading a document for scanning, be careful to remove all paper clips, staples, etc., from the document. During the scanning process, such objects can tear the document, cause paper jams and/or damage the scanner. Set the paper feed select lever and paper side guide adapters according to the type of document to be scanned.
Page 53
Load the document in the document feed opening. Note Orient the document with the back side facing forward and top edge pointing down, and then load it into the document feed opening. If the document falls forward because the paper is too thin, pull out the paper feed extension plate and push the document so that it falls backward.
Page 54
Adjust the paper side guides. Note Before starting a scan, make sure that the document is loaded in the scanner correctly. Scanning a curled document or a creased document can damage the document. Perform the scanning operation in accordance with the normal operating procedure for your application software.
