CHAPTER 3 LOADING A DOCUMENT
3.1 Compatible Document Types
Because the scanner scans a document while feeding it, the document types that it can scan are
subject to the following restrictions.
Compatible Media Widths for Scanning
Documents with a maximum width of 965 mm
Note: An A4-size document can only be loaded in Landscape (horizontal) orientation.
Compatible Media Lengths for Scanning
Documents up to approximately 16 m in length can be scanned.
However, the actual document length that can be scanned is limited by the available memory
(hard disk or other data storage device) of the computer to which the scanner is connected,
and also by the grade of the document being scanned.
Compatible Document Thicknesses for Scanning
The SK200-09 cannot scan a document that is thicker than 0.8 mm.
When using the carrier sheet that is available as an option, ensure that the combined
thickness of both the document and carrier sheet does not exceed 0.8 mm.
Moreover, documents of an uneven thickness cannot be scanned.
Note: The carrier sheet alone is 0.2 mm thick.
Compatible Media Grades and Thicknesses for Scanning
Media Grades
• The scanning precision is guaranteed for the special chart (Mylar) used in the test (see
APPENDIX B, “SPECIFICATIONS”).
• The compatible media types are listed below.
♦
High-grade paper: 60 g/m
2
♦
Tracing paper: 50 to 55 g/m
2
♦
Mylar: 50

m
♦
Copy paper
♦
Diazo photo-sensitive paper
Be sure to use the carrier sheet that is available as an option when scanning a document
where the ink or toner comes off when it is rubbed. If the carrier sheet is not used, there is a
risk of the document feed path becoming stained, and causing subsequent documents to
become stained as well.
