Difficult to Detect Sizes

When the optional Image Processing Unit Type A is installed, the scanner can automatically detect
the size of an original. However, the sizes of the following types of originals are difficult to detect
properly, even if using a scanner driver that supports automatic detection of the size of the
original:

•

An original that has index tabs, stick-on notes, or other protrusions

•

An original that is highly transparent, such as transparencies or tracing paper

•

Documents on a dark background

•

Documents with text, illustrations, or filled in portions on the leading edge

•

An original that is not A3
