Conditions for Multifeed Detection
Multifeed is an error where two or more sheets are fed through
the ADF at once. When a different document length is
detected, this detected result is also called a multifeed.
Multifeed detection is performed by either checking the
overlapping of documents, length of the documents, or the
combination of both. The following conditions are required for
an accurate detection.
Detection by Overlapping
Paper weight: 20 to 413 g/m
2
(5.3 to 110 lb)
Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the
document. See
.
Do not attach other documents within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the
center of the document. See
Detection by Length
Load documents of the same length in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
Variance in document lengths: 1% or less
Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the
document. See
.
Detection by Overlapping and Length
Load documents of the same length in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
Paper weight: 20 to 413 g/m
2
(5.3 to 110 lb)
Variance in document lengths: 1% or less
Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the
document. See
.
Do not attach other documents within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the
center of the document. See
ATTENTION
The above condition applies when the document is set to the center
of the pick roller width.
When you use detection by overlapping, scanning thick documents
such as plastic cards will be falsely detected as multifeed. In that
case, specify one of the following settings and try scanning again.
- Use the Intelligent Multifeed function.
- Disable the multifeed detection setting.
- Use the Manual/Single mode.
HINT
Accuracy of multifeed detection may drop with some documents.
Multifeed cannot be detected for the top 30 mm of a document.
For the shaded area in
, you can also specify a
length not to detect multifeeds in the Software Operation Panel.
