IMPORTANT

The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the
following items carefully.

• When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the

documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers by
aligning the centers and leading edges of the documents.

• It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") 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.

• When the paper of the document is thin, switch to thin paper mode

and then feed the document. Refer to the User Manual for detailed
information.

• 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.
