Document
preparation and
guidelines
For best results, follow these guidelines:
• Remove all staples and paper clips.
• When scanning a curled or folded document, flatten the document
before feeding it.
• Scanning documents such as carbon or carbonless paper may cause
skewing, paper jamming or multiple-sheet feeding because it makes
the rollers dirty and chemicals can cause the rollers to swell.
• The height of the documents placed in the feeder tray must not
exceed the paper limit mark that appears on the document guide.
• Sheets that are exceptionally thick or thin should be placed in the
feeder manually, one sheet at a time.
• When you scan an irregular or fragile document, you should make a
copy and then scan the copy.
• Remove the documents from the exit tray after they are scanned.
WARNING: Your warranty will be voided if you scan documents
with staples, paper clips or thick plastic documents
like credit cards. Feeding these items may cause
scratches on the imaging guides resulting in
permanent vertical streaks on the image.
