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.
• Note that 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.

IMPORTANT
• If the stack of business cards that you placed is not fed
