Document loading tips for mixed-size documents You can load the document feeder with groups of documents that have different widths or lengths. If your document contains different sized pages, you can scan it as described below. ● If your documents have the same width but different lengths (legal and letter size, for example), you can scan them as a single job. The scanned items will have the same length as the original items in the document. ● If you want to prevent skewing and ensure that each scanned item has the same width and length as the original, use the Job Build feature. Each segment of the job build must have documents of the same width and length. Use the automatic document feeder (ADF) 39

If you want to prevent skewing and ensure that each scanned item has the same width and length
as the original, use the
