About Documents
This page explains the types of documents that can be used on the scanner and
precautions when loading documents on the document tray.
Types of Documents
The scanner can accommodate documents within the range of the following width,
length and thickness:
Width: 55 to 297 mm (2.2 x 11.7 in.)
Length: 70 to 432 mm (2.8 x 17.0 in.)
Thickness: 0.06 to 0.15 mm (0.002 in. to 0.005 in.) (at manual feed: 0.05 to
0.20 mm (0.001 in. to 0.007 in.))
Follow the following guidelines when you prepare a document for scanning:
● Do not scan documents with the ink still wet. If documents are scanned with
wet ink, the inside of the scanner may become dirty. Be sure to allow wet ink on
documents to dry before they are scanned.
● If you scan a document written in pencil, the letters may disappear as the
document is fed through the scanner or graphite from the surface of the
document may transfer to and stain the scanning rollers. Before you scan these
kind of documents, make a copy on a copier and then scan the copy. If you
have scanned a document written in pencil or some other soft writing materials
by mistake, be sure to clean the scanning rollers after scanning. (See
“Cleaning the Scanning Glasses and Rollers” P. 77)
● If you scan thin paper in the duplex mode, ink printed on one side may be
legible on the other side. If this happens, adjust the brightness.
● If you scan a slippery surface document, friction may cause a feed error to
occur. If this happens, slide the paper feed adjustment lever (See “Paper Feed
Adjustment” P. 36) to adjust the paper feed setting.
● To avoid paper jams, damage to documents and scanner malfunction, do not
feed the following types of paper into the scanner. If you want to scan these
types of paper, first make a copy on a copier and then scan the copy.
Carbon-backed paper
Coated paper
Onion skin or other thin

Wrinkled or creased
