Precautions for copying and scanning Note Note Note You should not put anything in the copier/scanner that might jam or damage the feed mechanism. To minimize the possibility of jamming or damaging the feed mechanism, observe the following precautions: q Remove self-stick notes. q Remove staples and paper clips. q Straighten any curls or wrinkles in the original that you are scanning. q Feed irregularly sized originals one at a time. q Do not scan or copy any original with glue, correction fluid, or wet ink on it. q Do not scan or copy gummed-backed paper, labels, or originals. q Do no scan or copy originals that have tears, perforations, or any defect that might cause a jam. q Do not scan originals that are larger or smaller than the supported size. See Supported media sizes and types for more information. You must use a carrier sheet to feed small or delicate originals, such as newsprint, through the copier/scanner without causing a jam. To make a carrier sheet, use a piece of paper and a transparency, tape the leading edges together, and load your original between the sheets. You must feed business cards and any media that is smaller than 76.2 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) to the straight-through output path. You can use a carrier sheet and feed them to the straight-through output bin. To obtain good results, it is important that you use the correct resolution and color settings for your job. See Scanner resolution and color for more information. EN Precautions for copying and scanning 33
