Embossed card is also available.

• Set the card in landscape orientation.
• A maximum of 3 cards can be set in the mixed batch card guide.
• Ensure that the embossed portions of cards do not stick together.
• If acceptable results cannot be obtained, try changing the scanning orientation or reversing the scan face of the card, and then perform scanning again.

Note

• When using the mixed batch card guide, the document guides cannot be adjusted to less than A5 size.
• Make sure that the total height of the paper on the feed tray does not exceed 2 mm (0.08 in.). (This is equivalent to about 20 sheets at 80 g/m² [21 lb.]).

Scanning Documents

1. Adjust the document guides (①) slightly larger than the actual size of the documents.

2. Fan the documents.

- Documents that have been stapled together or stacked together (as in a file folder) will need to be separated.

① Fan the stack of documents to separate all the edges. ② Hold both ends and bend the documents as shown in the illustration. ③ To flatten the documents, hold firmly and pull them apart as shown in the illustration.

Repeat these steps as necessary.

3. Carefully align the documents.

• The documents feed better when the leading edges are aligned slantwise as shown in the illustration.

1. Place the documents on the feed tray with the side to be scanned facing down.
2. Set the leading edge of documents as shown in the illustration (①).
3. Insert the documents slowly until they stop.

	The sensor cannot detect the document as the edge of the document is curled.	Flatten the document (page 24) and load it again (page 38).
Double feeding occurs frequently.	The paper feed roller or double feed prevention roller have become worn down.	Replace the paper feed roller or double feed prevention roller. (page 60)
	The double feed detectors are dirty.	Clean the double feed detectors. (page 54)
	Right and left sides of the document to be scanned are not the same in height, because of curling or folding.	Flatten the document (page 24) and load it again after reducing the number of sheets.
	The document is printed on an unsupported type of paper or thick paper.	Make a copy of the document on paper of a compatible type and thickness (page 23), and then scan the copy.
	The length of the paper is too short.	Make a copy of the document on paper of a compatible size (page 23), and then scan the copy.
	The document is not aligned correctly.	Realign the document. (page 38)
	Too many sheets are set on the feed tray.	Remove sheets until the sheets on the feed tray are under the limit mark on the document guide.
The documents are not fed one at a time, but in bunches.	The scanning method is set to manual.	Select automatic scanning using the manual feed selector. (page 12)
A double feed is detected when scanning cards.	The cards are set in portrait orientation.	Either disable the double feed detection function or set the cards in landscape orientation.
Paper jams occur frequently.	The document is wrinkled. Smooth out	the document.
	The rollers are dirty. Clean the rollers.	(page 55)
	The document is not aligned correctly.	Realign the document. (page 38)
	Too many sheets are set on the feed tray.	Remove sheets until the sheets on the feed tray are under the limit mark on the document guide.
