Loading Documents to 
Scan
Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents before inserting them into the scanner. 
Staples and paper clips can jam the feed mechanism and scratch the internal components. Also 
remove any labels, stickers, or Post-It™ notes that may come off during the scanning process and 
get stuck in the scanner. Misuse as described here will void your scanner’s warranty. Please go to 
www.xeroxscanners.com
, select your product, and then click the “Warranty Program” link to view 
the warranty terms and conditions for your scanner. 
Supported Document Types
You can scan the following types of documents and cards with this scanner.
• Maximum amount of paper in the input tray
– Approximately 80 pages of 20 lb (75–80 g/m
2) new printer paper
•Document size
– Minimum size (width x length) – 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm)
– Maximum size (width x length) – 8.5 x 14 inches (216 x 356 mm)
– Maximum length with long document enabled
• 118 inches (2997 mm) up to 300 dpi
• 59 inches (1499 mm) at 400 dpi and higher
We recommend scanning one page at a time when the documents you are scanning are 
longer than 14 inches (356 mm).
•Mixed document stacks
– Scanner minimum to maximum without long document enabled
Arrange the documents so that all items are centered in the stack. The document sensor, 
paper separation, and feed rollers are located in the middle of the paper path. If smaller 
items are offset from the center they will not be detected. This will cause feeding issues 
and paper jams. 
• Dot matrix printer paper
• Paper thickness between 7–110 lb paper (27–413 g/m
2)
• Embossed plastic cards up to 1.25 mm thick

• Non-embossed plastic cards up to 1 mm thick
Documents to Avoid Scanning
The documents in this list can be scanned, but please note that scanning documents of this type 
will reduce the life of the scanner. Maintenance will be required more often and replaceable parts 
will wear faster. These types of documents will jam more frequently and damage to the original 
documents may occur. If you do choose to scan these document types, do not scan large batches. 
This type of use is not covered under the scanner warranty and alters replacement parts life 
expectancy.
We recommend you limit the amount or completely avoid scanning documents that are in this list.
• Curled, wrinkled or folded documents may cause paper jams or multiple pages being fed 
through the scanner at one time.
• Perforated or punched paper that could tear when the separation roller engages.
• Coated paper or photographs where the coating can flake off during scanning and leave 
residue in the scanner.
• Extremely smooth, shiny, or highly textured paper may cause the paper feed rollers to slip 
across the page and cause the scanner to report a paper jam.
• Carbonless copy paper may tear while being fed through the scanner and the pressure of the 
rollers may leave streaks on the page. The chemical coating on this paper will rub off on the 
rollers during the scan process, increasing the frequency of miss-feeds and paper jams.
• Partially transparent paper such as tracing paper as any images from the opposite side of the 
page or black background will appear in the scanned images.
Unsupported Document Types
Do not scan the following types of documents as they may cause damage to the scanner.
• Items outside of the specified supported sizes, thickness, and weight defined in this 
document.
• Non-rectangular or irregularly shaped paper will cause the scanner to detect and report 
document skew errors or paper jams.
• Carbon paper that will leave residue in the scanner and on the rollers that will transfer to the 
next set of documents scanned.
• Documents with hard items attached such as paper clips, binder clips, and staples.
• Documents with wet ink or white-out.
• Thermal or photosensitive paper.
• Overhead projector sheets, plastic film, camera film, and any other type of transparent or 
partially transparent plastic item.
• Documents that have been glued together.

Scanning from the Automatic Document 
Feeder (ADF)
Scanning Regular Documents
Make sure the paper guide switch is in the correct position for scanning regular documents, as 
indicated in the following illustration. 
When the paper guide switch is in the down position, the paper guides can be adjusted to a 
maximum of 8.5 inches (216 mm) wide. If the paper guides are adjusted wider than the 
maximum for regular paper, documents may skew excessively during scanning.
Preparing Documents for Scanning
• Fan the documents to make sure all pages in the stack are separated.
• Bend and then flatten the document stack to make sure the horizontal edges are aligned to 
help prevent paper from skewing while being pulled through the scanner.
• Pinch the ends to align the leading edges slantwise to help prevent multiple pages from being 
fed through at a single time.

1. Make sure the paper guide switch is in the down position.
