Feeding Documents Manually in the ADF
Documents can also be loaded manually one sheet at a time
in the ADF.
Normally, in automatic feeding, the scanner stops scanning
once all the documents loaded in the ADF paper chute
(feeder) have been scanned. In manual feeding, the scanner
waits for the next document to be loaded within a specified
time. Scanning will continue as long as another document is
loaded within the set time, and stops if no document is loaded.
By using this method, you can perform scanning as you check
the documents one by one.
Manual feeding is effective in the following cases:
To scan as you check the contents of each sheet.
To scan documents that cause multifeeds or paper jams when the
documents are loaded together in the same batch.
To continue scanning documents such as magazine or newspaper
clippings that cannot be loaded together.
