Using the Scanner Documents Document Types This scanner can scan documents of the following sizes: Length Height Height: 2.0" to 4.2" (50 mm to 106 mm) Length: 3.2" to 9.0" (80 mm to 228 mm) Thickness: 0.003" to 0.008" (0.08 mm to 0.20 mm) 0.004" to 0.005" (0.10 mm to 0.14 mm) with Double Feed Detection enabled Weight: 17 to 40 lb bond (64 to 157 g/m2) 20 to 28 lb Bond (81 to 105 g/m2) with Double Feed Detection enabled IMPORTANT A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable: • Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it. Scanning documents before the ink is dry can make the scanning glass and rollers dirty, resulting in lines on images. • Always clean the rollers after scanning a document written in pencil. Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material can make the rollers dirty, which can then transfer the dirt to subsequent 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 scanning intensity in the application software before scanning the document. • Exercise caution when scanning perforated documents. Documents with a ragged edge along the perforation may jam and become damaged. • Exercise caution when scanning documents with a glossy finish or colored background, since they may be misdetected as double fed documents. If misdetection of double feeds occurs often, turn off Double Feed Detection. (See p. 46). 36 Using the Scanner
