this section describes the types and thickness of documents this scanner supports.

    1 document type

    the recommended document types are as follows.

    (1) woodfree paper

    (2) wood containing paper

    when using any other types of paper, test feed a few sheets to ensure the satisfactory scan performance.

    2 document thickness

    paper thickness is expressed by "paper weight."

    52g/m2-- 127g/m2

    14lb -- 34lb

    3 precautions

    the following documents may have difficulty being fed with this scanner. to prevent unexpected problems, conduct preliminary feed testing using the same type of paper as the target documents.

    (1) document with clips or staples (not recommended)

    (2) document written on with ink and still wet

    (3) document without a constant thickness

    (4) document with bumps or curls (refer to the hint on page 120)

    (5) document with folds or tears

    (6) tracing paper

    (7) coated paper

    (8) carbon paper

    (9) carbonless paper

    (10) document smaller than a7 or larger than a3

    (11) materials other than paper: fabric, metal foil, or transparencies.

    (12) photosensitive paper

    (13) perforated or punched documents

    (14) non-rectangular documents

    (15) very thin paper

    1 when scanning a translucent document, set the scanner density to light to avoid image bleed through.

    2 to prevent the rollers from getting dirty, avoid scanning documents containing large areas of written or documents filled in with pencil. if scanning of such documents is necessary, clean the rollers frequently.

    ·when document jams or double feed happens frequently , please refer to "5.1 document jam", "document separation force adjustment".

    1 carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the pad assy or rollers. pay attention to the following.

    cleaning: if mis-pick occur frequently, clean the pad assy and pick rollers. for the details on cleaning, please refer to "chapter 3 daily care."

    replacement of parts: the life of the pad assy and pick roller may be shorter if carbonless papers are scanned.

    2 when wood containing paper documents are scanned, the life of the pad assy and pick rollers may become shorter than scanning wood free paper documents.

    the leading edge of all documents fed should be flat.

    make sure that the curls at the documents leading edge meet the following tolerances.
