IMPORTANT
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
• When scanning a multipage document, pages must be grouped together so
that they have the same size, thickness, and weight. Scanning different types
of paper at one time can cause the scanner to jam.
• Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
Scanning documents with the ink still wet may soil the rollers or scanning
glass, cause lines or smudges to appear on images, or dirty other documents.
• Always clean the rollers or scanning glass after scanning a document written
in pencil. Scanning documents with pencil written on them may soil the
rollers or scanning glass, cause stripes to appear in images, or dirty other
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. Adjust the brightness
in the scanning conditions before scanning the document.
• 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.
