3-1 Documents
The scanner can scan documents ranging in size from business cards and checks to A4 size 
documents. It can also scan long documents up to 118.1” (3000 mm).
The document sizes that this scanner can scan are shown below.
(*1) The DR-6010C offers two document eject configurations: U-turn path (the document is ejected 
to the document eject tray at the front of the scanner) and straight path (the document is ejected 
to the back of the scanner.) (See “3-2 Document Tray and Eject Tray,” on p. 3-3.)
(*2) You can scan documents up to 118.1” (3000 mm) long by setting the scanner to the Long 
Document mode. (See “Long Document Mode,” on p. 3-30.)
(*3) The paper weights that can be used with the scanner vary depending on the document feed 
method (page separation mode or bypass mode.) (See “3-3 Placing Documents,” on p. 3-5.)
(*4) When the paper is less than 20 lb bond (0.0039) (75 g/m
2 (0.1 mm)) in weight and documents 
are 3.54 (90 mm) or less in length or 2.36 (60 mm) or less in width, scanning may not perform 
properly during continuous feed. Eject Direction (*1) U-Turn Path  Straight Path

							Chapter 3  Basic Operation
3-2 IMPORTANT
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
 When scanning a multiple page document, pages of the same size, thickness, and weight 
must be grouped together. Scanning different sizes and types of paper together can cause 
the scanner to jam.
 Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with the scanner. Always 
make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
 Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material have a tendency to make 
the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to smudges in the scanned image and 
transfer the dir t to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner 
after scanning such documents.  
(See “Cleaning the Sensor Glass and the Rollers,” on p. 4-2.)
 When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the image on the 
opposite side of each page may show through. In this case, adjust the scanning intensity in 
the application software before scanning the document.
 Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan 
such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy.
 When you scan a batch of NCR (No Carbon Required) documents, make sure that they are 
not stuck together.
 Note that glossy paper or business cards may not be scanned correctly, or functions such 
as paper size detection and deskew may not function properly when scanning these types 
of documets, due to reflected light.
 When scanning business cards, make sure to select the bypass mode and straight path.
CAUTION
The results of scanning embossed cards are not guaranteed. Scanning embossed 
cards is not recommended, as they may scratch the sensor glass.Wrinkled or creased

3-2 Document Tray and Eject Tray
Prepare the document feed tray and document eject tray according to the paper size and feed/eject 
method.
Preparing the Document Feed Tray
1Grasp the middle of the document feed tray and slowly open it toward you. If the documents 
slide off the tray, pull out the document feed tray extension. 
CAUTION
Do not place anything other than documents on the document feed tray. Doing so may 
damage the scanner, reduce scanning quality, or cause the tray to fall off, resulting in 
personal injury or damage to the scanner.
Preparing the Document Eject Tray
The scanner has two eject methods: documents can be ejected to the front of the scanner in a U-
turn path, or to the back of the scanner in a straight path. You can switch between these methods by 
opening or closing the document eject tray 2. Select an eject method according to your needs.

							Chapter 3  Basic Operation
3-4 Note
 The U-turn path is used to scan documents on paper of normal weight. Scanned 
documents are ejected to the document eject tray.
 The straight path is used to scan documents on thin paper, thick paper and business cards 
that cannot be scanned through the U-turn path. Scanned documents are ejected to the 
back of the scanner.
 The U-turn path cannot be used if the document eject tray 2 is open.
 When using the straight path, the pages are stacked in the reverse order from which they 
were fed.
IMPORTANT
 Be sure there is enough space for documents that are ejected at the back of the scanner 
when using the straight path. If there is not enough space for the ejected pages, the 
documents may be damaged or a paper jam may occur.
 Open or close the document eject tray 2 before starting to scan documents. Opening or 
closing the document eject tray 2 while scanning may cause a paper jam.
 When using the U-turn path, make sure to open the eject tray guide. If the guide is not 
opened, documents may fall off the tray and cause a paper jam.

3-3 Placing Documents
There are two methods for feeding documents, the Page Separation mode and Bypass mode. 
Feeding pages continuously from a stack of documents placed in the feed tray is called the Page 
Separation mode. Feeding documents one sheet at a time or feeding documents consisting of 
multiple pages that are attached, is called the bypass mode. The document feed method can be 
changed by moving the feed selection lever.
IMPORTANT
 Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. 
If the leading edge of a document is curled, it may cause a paper jam.
 When continuously scanning documents on thin paper in the page separation mode, the 
pages may become wrinkled or folded and cause a paper jam. If this happens, scan the 
document in the bypass mode.
CAUTION
■Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not contain paper clips, 
staples, or other small metal objects. These items may cause a fire or electrical 
shock, damage the document, or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
■Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while you 
are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long 
hair. If anything gets caught in the scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, 
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to stop scanning.
Feeding in the Page Separation Mode
1Push the feed selection lever down ( .)
2Fan the pages of the document to be scanned and align their edges. 
						

							Chapter 3  Basic Operation
3-6
CAUTION
■Do not place the documents on top of the scanner to align them. Doing so may 
cause a malfunction.
■When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut your hands on the 
edges of the paper.
3Adjust the document guides so that they are wider than the document to be scanned.
4Place the document face up into the feed tray, so that the leading edge of the paper touches 
the document stoppers.
IMPORTANT
There is a load limit mark ( ) on the document guides. Do not stack documents higher than 
this mark (approximately 100 sheets of 20 lb bond (80 g/m2) paper.) Doing so may cause a 
paper jam. 
						

							Chapter 3  Basic Operation
3-7
5Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document.
Note
Before scanning, make sure that the document is not curled or creased, and that it is placed in 
the feed tray correctly. Scanning an improperly placed, curled, or creased document may 
damage the document or cause a paper jam.
6Start scanning.
IMPORTANT
 If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the scanner is scanning, resolve 
the problem, make sure that the scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed 
has been stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.
 Note that documents that are printed on thin paper may fall out of the document eject tray.
 After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray and the document eject tray 
extension to prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
Feeding in the Bypass Mode
1Push the feed selection lever up ( .)
2Place the document into the document feed tray one sheet at a time and adjust the position of 
the document guides. 
						

							Chapter 3  Basic Operation
3-8 Note
For more information on placing documents, see “Feeding in the Page Separation Mode,” on 
p. 3-5.
3Start scanning.
4The document is fed.
IMPORTANT
 When scanning multiple page documents that are fastened together, such as invoices, set 
the edge that is fastened together as the leading edge.
 When you are scanning with the bypass mode, and you place several documents that are 
not fastened together into the feed tray at one time, they will be fed together.
CAUTION
■Very thin or curled documents may not feed properly. In this case, lightly press on 
the leading edge of the documents as you feed them. Take care not to get your 
hand caught under the roller unit, as this may cause personal injury.
■After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray and the document eject 
tray extension to prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
