2.Documents
The DR-X10C scanner can scan documents ranging in size from business cards and checks to 11 × 17/A3 size. The size and type 
of paper that can be fed depends on the feeding method.
Acceptable Documents
The scanner can feed the following document sizes.
Size
Width: 2 to 12.01 (50.8 mm to 305 mm)
Length: 2.76 to 17.01 (70.0 mm to 432 mm) (without 
using the Long Document Mode)
2.76 to 39.37 (70.0 mm to 1 m) (using [ON1] in the 
Long Document Mode) 
2.76 to 118.11 (70.0 mm to 3m) (using [ON2] in the 
Long Document Mode)
Hint
When the Long Document Mode is selected, Paper Size 
Detection can be used for scanning documents up to 118.1. 
(3 m) long. (See “Long Document Mode Setting” on p. 3-5.)
Paper Thickness
Page Separation Feeding: 14 to 32 lb bond (52 g/m2 to 
128 g/m2) (0.06 mm to 0.15 mm)
Bypass Feeding: 11 lb to 64 lb bond (42 g/m2 to 255 g/m2) 
(0.05 mm to 0.30 mm)
Hint
 Continuous feeding feeds document pages one after another 
by the feed and retard rollers after placing a batch of 
documents in the Document Feed Tray.
 Manual feeding requires feeding one document at a time while 
the [Bypass Mode] key on the control panel is lit and the 
Document Feed Tray is raised.
IMPORTANT
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
 When scanning a multipage document, pages must be 
grouped together so that they have the same size, thickness, 
and weight. Scanning different types of paper at one time can 
cause the scanner to jam. 
 Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before 
scanning it. Scanning documents with the ink still wet may soil 
the rollers or scanning glass, cause lines or smudges to 
appear on images, or dirty other documents.
 Always clean the rollers or scanning glass after scanning a 
document written in pencil. Scanning documents with pencil 
written on them may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause 
stripes to appear in images, or dirty other documents.
 When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin 
paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show 
through. Adjust the background color and scanning brightness 
from the application program before scanning.
 Note that 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. 
Wrinkled or creased 
documentsCarbon paper
Curled documents Coated paper

 To use the Long Document Mode, feed document pages 
manually, one after another.
■Long Document Mode Setting
Using the Long Document mode, pages up to 118.1 (3 m) 
long can be scanned with automatic paper size detection. 
You can set the Long Document Mode setting from the 
User Mode.
1.Press the Menu key on the control panel.
The User Mode is activated.
2.Press the [ ] key five times to display Long 
Document Mode. (See p. 4-9.)
3.Confirm your settings.
[ON2]: When the [Auto Detection] or [Scanner’s 
Maximum] page size setting is selected, document page 
lengths up to 118.11 (3 m) can be detected.
[ON1]: When the [Auto Detection] or [Scanner’s 
Maximum] page size setting is selected, document page 
lengths up to 39.37 (1 m) can be detected.
[OFF]: When the [Auto Detection] page size setting is 
selected, document page lengths up to 17.01 (432 mm) 
can be detected.

IMPORTANT
 Processing may be slowed when scanning in the Long 
Document Mode.
 When scanning with the Long Document Mode set to [ON1], if 
the scan is performed with the scanning mode set to color and 
the image quality set to [Image quality priority], the image may 
be lost. If this occurs, scan by using black and white or 
reducing the image quality.
 When scanning with the Long Document Mode set to [ON2], if 
the scan is performed at 400/600 dpi or the scan is performed 
with the scanning mode set to color and the scanning side set 
to [Duplex], the image may be lost. If this occurs, scan by 
reducing the resolution, using black and white, or setting the 
scanning side to [Simplex]. Torn documentsExtremely thin,

Chapter 3   Basic Operation
 Some scanning mode and resolution settings may produce 
incomplete page images. In this case, try decreasing the 
resolution or, if scanning in color mode, switch to black and 
white.
 If a sheet is loaded at a skewed angle when scanning long 
documents, it may be damaged by contacting both sides of the 
transport path. So be careful to avoid loading documents at 
skewed angles.
 Paper jam detection may react slowly when scanning long 
documents, which could result in jammed documents being 
damaged. Be especially careful to avoid paper jams.
 To feed each document page manually when scanning long 
documents, press the [Bypass Mode] key on the control panel.

3.Document Feed and Eject Trays
Before scanning, prepare the Document Feed and Eject Trays for the desired paper size.
Preparing the Document Feed Tray
■Opening the Document Feed Tray
When the scanner is turned ON, the Document Feed Tray 
opens automatically and moves to the specified home 
position height.
Hint
When opening the Document Feed Tray by hand, place your 
fingers in the indents at both sides of the tray, and open it gently.
Home Position Setting
The height of the home position (the position to which the 
document Feed Tray moves after it opens) can be adjusted 
in three steps according to the number of document pages 
to be loaded (the default setting is the lowest position, 
which accepts up to 500 sheets). 
The height of the home position is set by the Tray Position 
User Mode setting, which minimizes the time required to 
start feeding by specifying in advance the proper position 
for the documents to be loaded.
1.Press the Menu key on the control panel.
The User Mode is activated.
2.Press the [ ] key seven times to display Tray 
Position. (See p. 4-9.)
3.Confirm your settings.

To close the Document Feed Tray, lift it gently so that the 
sides of the tray hook into the scanner body, then press it 
in at both sides.
Hint
When power is switched OFF while the home position setting of 
the Document Feed Tray is high, the tray moves to the lowest 
position before the scanner turns OFF.
CAUTION
When the home position is set to high, make sure to turn the 
power OFF before closing the tray. Closing the Document Feed 
Tray while the scanner is ON may damage the scanner.
■Document Guides
Unlock the document guides by gently pressing both sides 
of either guide (a), and sliding the document guides to 
match the width of your document (b).
Hint
The positions of the left and right document guides can also be 
locked independently for off-center loading. For details, see 
“Adjusting the Document Guides” (p. 3-9).

Chapter 3   Basic Operation
■Document Feed Tray Extension
Pull out the tray extension as needed for the length of your 
document.
Adjusting the Document Guides
The document guides normally extend at equal distances from 
the left and right of the center of feeding so that your 
documents are centered in the feed inlet. 
However, each document guide has its own lock lever, so you 
can load documents to the left or right of center by locking the 
document guides at the appropriate positions.
■Loading Documents at the Left Side
This example shows the procedure for loading documents 
at the left side of the feeder.
1.Spread the document guides all the way to the left 
and right.
2.Load your documents against the left feed guide.
3.Lock the left document guide (a) by pulling out the 
lock lever, then slide the right document guide to the 
right edge of your documents (b).
