Overview
Precautions
The following types of documents may not be scanned
successfully:
• Documents of non-uniform thickness (e.g., envelopes and
photo-attached documents)
• Wrinkled or curled documents
• Folded or torn documents
• Tracing paper
• Coated paper
• Carbon paper
• Photosensitive paper
• Perforated documents
• Documents that are not square or rectangular
• Very thin documents
• Photographs (Photographic paper)
You must not scan the following types of documents:
• Paper-clipped or stapled documents
• Documents on which the ink is still wet
• Documents smaller than A8 size
• Documents wider than A3 size (297 mm or 11.69 in.)
• Documents other than paper such as fabric, metal foil, or
transparencies
• Important documents such as certificates and cash vouch-
ers that must not get scratched or become smeared
• When scanning a semi-transparent document, slide the
[Brightness] bar to light to avoid bleed through.
• To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning
documents containing large areas written or filled with
pencil.
• When using the ADF, the leading edge of all document
sheets must be evenly aligned. Make sure that curling at the
leading edge is within the following tolerances:
• Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may
harm the Brake Rollers or paper-feeding rollers (e.g. Pick
Rollers) when documents are fed. Pay attention to the
following:
Cleaning :
If document jams occur frequently, clean the Brake Rollers
and the Pick Rollers. For how to clean the Brake and Pick
Rollers, refer to "Chapter 6 Daily Care" (on page 114).
Replacing parts :
The service life of the Brake Rollers and the Pick Rollers for
scanning "carbonless paper" may be shorter than that for
scanning "wood containing paper."
• The service life of the Brake Rollers and the Pick Rollers for
scanning "wood containing paper" may become shorter
than that for scanning "woodfree paper."
• The Brake Rollers or Pick Rollers could be damaged if any
photos or sticky notes on your document have contact with
the Brake Rollers or Pick Rollers during scanning.
• Scanning documents of calendered paper, such as photos,
may damage their surface.
