To resolve this condition:

1.

Remove the sheet from the transport bed (or from
the lower tray of the Select Stacker if installed).

2.

Repair the sheet if it is torn or otherwise damaged.
If you cannot repair the sheet, copy the marks from
the damaged sheet onto a new sheet.

NOTE:

Tape on a sheet may result in a “Multiple

Sheets Fed” error.

3.

Place the sheet (or replacement sheet) back in the
input tray.

4.

Adjust the paper guide so that it is just touching
the sheets.

Press

START

to resume scanning.

Press

OFF

to put the scanner into sleep mode.

Sheet Too Thin/See Manual

This message appears when the last sheet that the
scanner attempted to scan was thinner than the one
before it. This condition can occur when the sheet
thickness error detection is being performed by the
scanner. After the scanner stops and is restarted, the
thickness of the first sheet is measured and stored as
the reference. If multiple sheets are picked (as the first
sheet after the scanner is restarted), the thickness
value is larger than it should be. Consequently, the
second sheet (not a multiple) will cause a “Sheet Too
Thin” message to be displayed.

To resolve this condition:
