Conditions for Mixed Batch Scanning
The following conditions apply when a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights/friction
coefficients/sizes is scanned.
Make sure to test a few sheets first to check if the mixed batch of documents can be fed.
Paper Direction
Align the direction of the paper fiber with the feed direction.
Paper Weight (Thickness)
Documents with the following paper weights can be scanned when scanning a mixed batch of documents
with different paper weights:
27 to 413 g/m
2
(7.2 to 110 lb)
Friction Coefficient
It is recommended that the same paper brand from the same manufacturer is used for documents.
When different paper manufacturers/brands are mixed in documents to be scanned, it affects the feeding
performance as the difference in friction coefficient increases.
The following friction coefficients are recommended:
0.35 to 0.60 (reference value for paper friction coefficient)
Document Position
Load all documents covering the width of the pick roller.
For a guideline for mixed batch scanning, refer to Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch
(page 89) in Paper Size (page 88).
