Loading Documents to
Scan
Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents before inserting them into the scanner. Staples
and paper clips can jam the feed mechanism and scratch the internal components. Also remove any labels,
stickers, or Post-It™ notes that may come off during the scanning process and get stuck in the scanner. Misuse as
described here will void your scanner’s warranty.
Items to Avoid Scanning
The following types of documents can cause multiple-page feeding, paper jams, or damage to the scanner.
• Plastic items such as credit cards, identification cards, overhead projector sheets, film, and cloth or metallic
sheets.
• Photographs or other coated paper as the coating can flake off during the scan process.
• Documents with wet ink, correction fluid, or carbon paper that can leave residue inside the scanner.
• Torn, damaged, wrinkled or perforated paper.
• Lightweight paper such as carbon-less paper or tracing paper.
• Irregular paper such as extremely thick card-stock paper, cardboard backing, documents that are glued
together, paper with tabs, paper with glue residue, extremely smooth or glossy paper, and thermal or heat
sensitive paper.
Select the Paper Feeding Options
There are paper feed options that you can adjust using the scanner control panel. Adjust these options based on
the type of documents you are scanning.
