IMPORTANT
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
• When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the documents
so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers.
• It is recommended that documents exceeding LTR, 11.69" (A4, 297 mm) size
are fed one sheet at a time.
• Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with the
scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning
it.
• Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material may make
the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to smudges on the
scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean
the internal parts of the scanner after scanning such documents.
• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the
image on the opposite side of each page may show through. In this case,
adjust the scanning intensity in the application software before scanning the
document.
• It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a time.
• Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or
malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document
and then scan the photocopy.
