Document Feeding Methods

Two document feeding methods are available: Continuous Feeding, which feeds documents automatically from the document tray 
by the pickup roller; and Manual Feeding, which requires one document at a time to be positioned manually for transport by the 
feed roller, while the pickup roller is disabled.

Selecting the Document Feeding Method

Continuous Feeding is the default feeding method, but 
Manual Feeding can be enabled by selecting Manual Feeding 
as the Feeding Option for the ISIS/TWAIN driver, or by 
pressing the Separation Off key on the control panel. A 
Continuous Manual Feeding Mode is also provided as a way 
to scan a batch of document pages that cannot be 
automatically transported.

Continuous Feeding

With Continuous Feeding, documents loaded in the 
Document Feed Tray are picked up automatically by the 
pickup roller and transported by the feed roller, while the 
retard roller separates each page to avoid double feeding.

Manual Feeding

The Separation Off key lights and the Document Feed 
Tray rises so that documents can be fed manually one at a 
time. 
When manual feeding, you must insert each document 
page far enough to be pulled in by the feed roller (because 
the pickup roller is disabled).

IMPORTANT

• Because pages are not separated by the retard roller during 

manual feeding, a paper jam will occur if multiple pages are 
loaded together.

• To scan bound multi-page documents such as invoice 

booklets, place the bound edge against the feed inlet and scan 
using manual feeding. 

Hint

• The [Separation Off] key is linked to the [Manual Feeding] 

Feed Option setting of the ISIS/TWAIN driver.

• When the [Separation Off] key on the control panel is pressed 

or the [Manual Feeding] Feed Option is selected, the 
[Separation Off] key lights and the Document Feed Tray rises.
