1.Important Safety Instructions
To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.
Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the 
environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the 
location where the scanner is installed meets the following 
environmental requirements.
●Provide adequate space around the scanner for 
operation, maintenance, and ventilation.
●Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If 
this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the 
scanner.
●Avoid locations where a considerable amount of 
dust accumulates.
●Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the 
vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or 
humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes 
from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile 
chemicals may be present.
●Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.●Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in 
temperature. If the room in which the scanner is 
installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets 
(condensation) may form inside the scanner. This 
may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning 
quality.
The following conditions are recommended for 
optimal scanning quality: 
Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 
90.5 °F) 
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
●Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that 
generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers, 
televisions, or radios).
Power
●Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage 
and power supply frequency (either 120 V, 60 Hz 
or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your 
region).
●Do not use the scanner with a power supply that is 
not rated for the specified voltage. Doing so might 
cause fire or electric shock.
●Do not connect other electrical equipment to the 
same power outlet to which the scanner is 
connected. Also, when using an extension cord, 
make sure that the extension cord is rated for the 
current requirements of the scanner.
●The power cord may become damaged if it is often 
stepped on or if heavy objects are placed on it. 
Continued use of a damaged power cord can lead 
to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.

Detection Functions
●Auto Image Type Detection
The scanner automatically detects whether documents 
are in black and white or color.
●Auto Paper Size Detection
The document page size is detected before scanning.
●Skew Detection Function
The scanner stops feeding when a skewed document is 
detected as it touches the edge of the feeder inlet. (See 
“Skew Detection Function” on p. 4-6.)
●Staple Detection
The scanner stops feeding when it detects the presence 
of stapled documents. (See “Staple Detection Function” 
on p. 4-6.)
●Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection Function
The scanner stops feeding when the ultrasonic sensor 
detects that two or more document pages are feeding at 
the same time. (See “Double-Feed Detection Function” 
on p. 4-5.)
*A non-detection zone can be specified to avoid double-
feed detection in areas such as those containing adhesive 
labels.
●Double-Feed Detection by Document Length
The scanner stops feeding when a double feed is 
detected by comparing document lengths. (See 
“Double-Feed Detection Function” on p. 4-5.)
*Using the length of the first document page as a reference, 
the scanner detects a double feed when a page of a 
different length is fed.
●Prescan
At the start of scanning, this function prescans the first 
page of a document and pauses so that you can use the 
first image to adjust the brightness and contrast before 
resuming scanning.
●Verify Scan
While scanning, the count of document pages scanned 
is verified against a pre-specified count or the count 
obtained from Count-Only Mode. (See “Verify Scan” 
on p. 4-4.)
●Text Orientation Detection
The text orientation on each page is detected, and the 
scanned image is rotated in 90-degree increments as 
necessary for normalization.
Image Processing
●Prevent Bleed Through/Remove Background
Prevents the background or original image on the 
reverse side of thin originals from appearing in scanned 
images.
●Image Rotation
The scanner can rotate scanned images in 90° 
increments, or detect the text orientation and rotate the 
image in 90° increments to correct its orientation.
●Deskew
The scanner straightens an image when it recognizes 
from the image that the document page was fed askew.

●Dropout and Color Enhancement Functions
The scanner is equipped with drop-out and 
enhancement functions that enable you to specify one 
color (red, blue, or green) to be omitted (dropped out) or 
enhanced when scanning, respectively.
●Remove Binder Holes
Erases the shadows that appear on scanned images form 
binding holes on the original document.
●Skip Blank Page
The scanner scans both sides of a document and skips 
saving the image of any side it determines to be a blank 
page.●Folio Scan
Documents that are too large to fit in the feeder inlet can 
be folded and scanned on both sides, and the images 
combined into a single image.
*Folio Scan supports up to A1-size (23.4 × 33.1 (594 × 841 
mm)) documents when used together with the Long 
Document Mode.
●MultiStream Function
The scanner supports MultiStream, which, depending 
on the software application, can create two images with 
different scanning conditions from a single scan pass. 
However, this function is only available when using 
CapturePerfect 3.0 (supplied with the scanner) or 
another application program that supports the Multi-
Stream function.

Other Functions
●Rapid Recovery System
When this function is activated and a sensor detects a 
misfeed due to a paper jam or double feed, which causes 
feeding to stop, scanning pauses to allow you to correct 
the cause of the misfeed, after which scanning continues 
from the document page on which the abnormality was 
detected. (See “Clearing a Paper Jam or Double Feed 
Error” on p. 3-21.)
*The Rapid Recovery System is effective when feeding 
stops as a result of detection of a Paper Jam, Double Feed, 
Skew, or Staple.
●Dust Countermeasures
The following functions are provided to prevent dust or 
paper particles from adhering to the scanning glass and 
affecting images. 
Blower: Airflow from a fan inside the scanner blows 
paper particles from the scanning glass.
Dust Wiper: Before scanning, a brush mounted on a 
roller on the opposite side of the scanning glass rotates 
to remove paper particles from the glass.
Dust Evasion Mechanism: When a sensor detects dust 
on the scanning glass, the sensor is repositioned to 
avoid appearing in scanned images. (See “User Mode 
Functions” on p. 4-11.)
Options
●Imprinter (Option)
The optional imprinter includes a Pre-Imprinter to print 
on documents before scanning, and a Post-Imprinter to 
print on documents after scanning.
*The Pre-Imprinter and Post-Imprinter can be used 
together.
●Barcode Detection (Option)
Barcodes on documents can be detected by installing 
the optional barcode module.●Patchcode Support (Option)
By installing the optional patchcode decoder, patch 
code sheets inserted between document pages can be 
detected for batch separation. (See “Using Patchcode 
Sheets (Option)” on p. 3-19.)
