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.
Business Card
Card (plastic or laminated)
„Use the straight path when scanning cards.
„If you place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected 
properly, and cards that get jammed may be damaged when you 
remove them. Take care of the orientation when placing cards.
„Embossed cards may not be able to be scanned correctly, depending 
on the type of embossment.
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
zWhen scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place 
the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed 
rollers.
zIt is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14) in 
size are fed one sheet at a time.
zScanning 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.
zScanning documents that are written in pencil or similar 
material may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which 
can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the 
dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts 
of the scanner after scanning such documents.
zWhen 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.
zIt is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a 
time.Wrinkled or creased 
documentsCarbon paper
Curled documents Coated paper
Torn documentsExtremely thin, translucent 
paper
Documents with paper clips 
or staplesDocuments with excessive 
paper dust particles.
Size: 50.8 mm x 53.9 mm (2 x 2.12) or larger
Paper weight:
300 g/m
2 (80 lb bond) 0.35 mm (0.0138) or less
Orientation: Ver tical feeding only
If a stack of business cards cannot be fed properly, reduce the 
number of cards in the stack.
Size: 53.9 mm x 85.5 mm (2.12 x 3.37) (ISO standard)
Card thickness:0.76 mm (0.03) or less, 1.4 mm (0.055) or less for the 
embossment
Orientation: Horizontal feeding only
Feed path: Straight path only
Embossed cards can be scanned.

Switching the Feed and Eject Methods
###HOME > Chapter 5 Placing Documents > Switching the Feed and 
Eject Methods###
Use the two levers on the scanner to switch the feed and eject 
methods based on the type of document you are scanning.
The feed and eject methods and lever positions for each document type 
are as follows.
Placing Documents for Standard Feeding
###HOME > Chapter 5 Placing Documents > Placing Documents for 
Standard Feeding###
Ordinarily, standard feeding should be used when scanning multiple 
documents of a standard size at one time. Standard feeding enables 
the multiple documents to be fed while separating each page.
1Open the document feed tray.
2Pull out the feed support.
Document typeFeed method 
(lever position)Eject method 
(lever position)
Standard paper and 
business cardsStandard feeding (lower) U-turn path (upper) or 
straight path (lower)
Plastic cards, thick 
paper, thin paper, 
and bound or 
fastened paperNon separation feeding 
(upper)Straight path (lower) 
						

							27
3When scanning long documents, pull out the feed extension plates 
and eject support.4Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever.
Set the feed selection lever to the standard feeding position (lower position).
Set the eject selection lever to the U-turn path position ( ).
When scanning documents that contain both standard paper and plastic cards, 
use the straight path.
5Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document to be 
scanned. 
						

							28
6Place the document.
Insert the document in the feed tray so that the front is facing forward and the 
top is facing upward.
After inserting the document in the document feeder, align the document 
guides with both edges of the document.
zWhen placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to 
cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
zMake sure that the document does not exceed the loading limit 
marks ( ) on the document guides. Up to 30 pages of ordinary 
plain paper (80 g/m
2) can be loaded at the same time.
zBefore 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.
zDo 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.
zAlways 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.
zIf 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.
zAfter you finish scanning, close the document feed tray to 
prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
zAlthough standard feeding can be used in combination with 
the straight path when scanning, multi-page documents will be 
ejected in reverse order in such cases. 
						

							29Placing Documents for Non Separation 
Feeding
###HOME > Chapter 5 Placing Documents > Placing Documents for Non 
Separation Feeding###
When scanning a thick document one page at a time or scanning a 
document that has multiple pages fastened together, set document 
feeding to non separation mode. This enables the placed document 
to be scanned without the pages being separated, regardless of the 
number of pages.
1Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever.
Set the feed selection lever to the non separation position (upper position). The 
feed selection indicator will light orange.
Set the eject selection lever to the straight path position ( ).
zIf you select the [Upside-down feeding] check box in the 
scanner driver settings, you can insert documents into the 
scanner in the opposite orientation (When you want to scan a 
document placed upside-down on p.78). 
						

							30
2Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document.
3Place the document in the document feed tray.
zWith the straight path, documents are ejected at the front of 
the scanner. Do not place anything that will block output near 
the document eject area. Also, install the scanner on a smooth 
surface to enable documents to be smoothly ejected.
zWhen scanning multiple page documents that are fastened 
together, such as invoices, place the documents so that the 
edge that is fastened together is facing down.
