IMPORTANT
•
Do not place the following types of originals into the feeder:
- Originals with tears or large binding holes
- Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds
- Clipped or stapled originals
- Carbon backed paper or other originals which may not feed smoothly
- Transparencies and other highly transparent originals
•
If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or become
creased, and make feeding impossible. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of 30 times
(this number varies, depending on the type and quality of the original).
•
If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in pencil, clean the feeder.
(See Chapter 7, “Routine Maintenance,” in the
Reference Guide
.)
•
Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder.
•
Set the originals one-by-one if they are very thin (10 lb bond to 14 lb bond [37 g/m
2
to
52 g/m
2
]) or very thick (28 lb bond to 32 lb bond [105 g/m
2
to 128 g/m

]).
