Chapter 2 How to Load Documents
36
The following types of documents must not be scanned:
Paper-clipped or stapled documents
Documents on which the ink is still wet
Documents smaller than 50.8 × 50.8 mm (2 × 2 in.)
Documents wider than 216 mm (8.5 in.)
Documents other than paper/plastic card such as fabric, metal foil
and OHP film
Important documents that must not be damaged or smeared
ATTENTION
Since carbonless papers contain chemical substances that may
harm the rollers (such as a pick roller), take note of the following:
Cleaning: If paper jams occur frequently, clean the brake roller and
pick roller.
For details, refer to
"Chapter 5 Daily Care" (page 62)
Consumable replacement: The life of the brake roller and pick roller
may end sooner compared to scanning
wood-containing papers.
When scanning wood containing papers, the life of the brake roller
and pick roller may end sooner compared to scanning wood-free
papers.
Brake roller and pick roller may be damaged when a photo/sticky
note on the document contacts these parts during scanning.
The surface of the document may be damaged when gloss papers
such as photographs are scanned.
The light of the LED may reflect brightly when gloss papers are
scanned.
When you scan plastic cards, take note of the following:
- Plastic cards should be within the following specifications:
ISO7810 ID-1 type compliant
Size: 85.6 × 53.98 mm
Thickness: 0.76 mm or less (embossed cards can be used)
Material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PVCA (polyvinyl chloride
acetate)
Make sure to check if the cards can be fed before scanning them.
- When scanning cards from the ADF, load one card at a time in the
ADF paper chute (feeder).
- It is recommended that a card should be loaded horizontally.
- It is recommended that a card should be loaded face-down in the
ADF paper chute.
- When you scan an embossed card, it is recommended that the
card should be loaded face-down in the ADF paper chute
horizontally.
- Thick or rigid cards that are difficult to bend may be fed skewed.
- If there is dirt on the surface of the card, such as grease marks
(fingerprints), perform scanning after wiping the dirt off.
- Scanning thick documents such as plastic cards will be falsely
detected as multifeed.
To scan such documents, disable the multifeed window display
function of the scanner driver, the Intelligent Multifeed function, or
the multifeed detection setting.
