Preparation

Please read below NOTE before scanning to prevent misfeeds, paper

jams and protect your originals.

NOTE

•

Do not load paper other than those with the paper size, type, and

weight specified in the Specification.

•

The Input Tray capacity can hold 120 sheets for the plain paper

or 30 cards for the business cards. Paper overloading may cause

paper jams.

•

Ensure staples and paper clips have been removed prior to

scanning as they may cause damage to the Automatic Document

Feeder and your originals.

•

Do not load paper with wet ink or liquid correction fluid, curls,

wrinkles, folds, irregular shapes or tears into the Input Tray.

•

Do not scan fragile photos, very thin and thick paper, and

important originals as misfeeding may wrinkle or damage them.

•

If a stack of paper cannot be fed into the Input Tray properly, try to

reduce the number of paper in the stack.

•

When scanning a stack of business cards or other small items (for

example, credit cards, IDs, etc), place the long side of the cards

parallel with the Paper Guides.

•

Long sheet of paper, plastic cards, and embossed cards can be

scanned one at a time.
