Making copies
Preparing documents
• If documents have been stored rolled up, flatten them out. They will be
much easier to handle if they have been stored flat for at least 8 hours.
The longer that documents have been stored flat, the easier it will be to
scan them.
• After being scanned and sent to the rear of the Scanner, rolled-up
documents may not stack reliably in the Document Catcher Assembly.
• If possible, sort the documents you are going to scan according to these
guidelines:
−
First, group the documents by media type, e.g. blueprint, pencil,
sepia and so forth. By scanning groups of documents that are the
same type, you will minimize the number of control changes you
make with the Image Quality controls.
−
Next, divide the documents in each media type group into “good”
and “bad” piles based on your evaluation of their foreground and
background quality (see the guidelines above). That way you can
scan the good quality documents first, then focus on the bad quality
ones, which will require more attention.
−
Finally, sort the documents by size. When using preset or custom
format sizes, the number of control changes is minimized.
