❏Feed Selection Lever
Change the position of the lever to the desired feed method 
for the document.
Page Separation ON
Move the lever downward to separate a stack of documents 
one page at a time in order to continuously feed the 
documents.
Page Separation OFF
Move the lever upward to feed a document with multiple 
pages attached together such as an invoice one page at a 
time without separating the pages. 
IMPORTANT
Moving the lever upward (Page Separation OFF) and then 
scanning a stack of documents will cause multiple pages to be 
fed at the same time.
❏USB Port
You can insert a USB memory device to store image files.
You can also connect a USB keyboard and USB mouse to 
operate the ScanFront.
IMPORTANT
 The scanner will not start if you turn the power ON while a USB 
memory device is inserted. Insert the USB memory device 
after the scanner starts up and the Home screen appears.
 Use USB memory that is not write-protected. If the USB 
memory is write-protected, data cannot be written to the USB 
memory.
 This scanner does not support USB memory equipped with 
password security, data encryption, or functions other than 
data storage.

Chapter 2   Handling
IMPORTANT
Make sure that document stacks placed in the feed tray do not 
exceed the document guides.
The number of sheets that you can place in the scanner at 
one time varies by paper size as follows.
Legal/A4 Size or Smaller: 
50 sheets (stack 5 mm thick) or less
Sizes Larger than Legal/A4: 
30 sheets (stacks 3 mm thick) or less
❏Placing a Folded Document
Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger 
than Legal/A4 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. (The 
maximum size is 11 X 17/A3.) To use the function, fold 
the document in half lengthwise and place it into the 
feeder. The ScanFront will scan both sides and combine 
the scanned images into a single image.
IMPORTANT
 When folding the document, align the right and left sides and 
create a sharp, straight fold. Otherwise the document may jam 
or the image may not be aligned properly.
 The fold line itself will not be scanned. Keep this in mind if 
there is content such as photos, diagrams, or text that spans 
the fold.
 For Folio scanning, only the Page Separation OFF mode can 
be used. Place documents one at a time.
 Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. 
Otherwise, the image may scan as skewed or shifted.
Hint
 When scanning folded documents, switch the feed selection 
lever to OFF. (See p. 2-5.)
 When placing folded documents, place the document into the 
scanner so that the fold is on the right side. The side of the 
folded document facing you will become the right side of the 
combined image.
 When scanning a document that is folded in half, set 
[Scanning Side] to [Folio].
 The maximum size for combined images is A3. When 
scanning a folded document of a size other than the standard 
formats, set [Page Size] to [Auto size].
 When scanning a document that is folded in half, set 
[Resolution (dpi)] to 300 dpi or less.
 When scanning a document that is folded in half, the [Double 
feed detection by Ultrasonic] function cannot be used.
❏Placing a Long Document
You scan documents up to 39.3 (1,000 mm) in length.
IMPORTANT
 When scanning a long document, set [Page Size] to [Auto size 
(Long)].
 When scanning a long document, set [Resolution (dpi)] to 200 
dpi or less.
 You cannot set [Scanning Side] to [Folio] when scanning a 
long document.

❏Placing a Card
When you want to scan a card, follow the procedure below 
to place the card. 
1.Move the feed selection lever upward (OFF). 
IMPORTANT
When scanning cards, set the feed selection lever to OFF and 
make sure to scan the cards one at a time. 
2.Adjust the document guides to match the width of the 
card.
3.Place the card face down with the top edge at the 
bottom of the tray.
CAUTION
 A card placed into the document feed tray in the portrait 
orientation may not be output properly because a load is 
placed on it during feeding. Furthermore, removing a card that 
has caused a feeding error may damage the card, so make 
sure to correctly insert the card.
 Pull the lock lever and open the panel unit before removing a 
placed card. Inserting a finger into the scanner while the panel 
unit is closed may result in an injury.

4.Clearing a Paper Jam or Double Feed Error
When a paper jam or double feed error is detected, feeding and scanning stops.
1.Check the displayed message.
If a paper jam or double feed error is detected at the first 
page of a document, the following messages appear.
Hint
 If you press [Complete], the display returns to the previous 
screen.
 If you want to continue scanning, reset the document before 
progressing with screen operations. Press [Continue] to 
resume scanning.
If a paper jam or double feed error is detected in the middle 
of a document, the following messages appear.
Hint
 If you press [Abort], the scanned images are canceled, and 
the display returns to the previous screen.
 If you want to continue scanning, clear the document first 
before touching the screen. After you reset the cleared 
document, press [Continue] to resume scanning.
 If you press [Complete], the scanned images up until the 
paper jam or double feed error are saved and scanning 
completes. The display switches to the Send screen.

Chapter 2   Handling
IMPORTANT
When the message above is displayed and the scanner 
transitions to Low Power Mode, all of the data scanned up until 
that point is discarded. (See “Low Power Mode” on p. 6-31.)
2.Remove the scanned documents from the document 
eject tray, and any documents remaining in the 
document feed tray.
3.Pull the lock lever toward you and then fully open the 
panel unit.
CAUTION
The open/close movement of the panel unit is linked to the up/
down movement of the document eject tray. Do not press on the 
document eject tray when you open the panel unit.
4.Pull out the jammed document in the direction that 
seems the easiest to remove it.
5.Close the panel unit and then place the document 
again.
6.Press [Continue] to resume scanning. 
IMPORTANT
 If double feed errors occur repeatedly, reduce the number of 
sheets you place in the document feed tray to about 10.
 A dirty or worn feed roller, or documents stuck together as a 
result of static electricity are common causes of paper jams or 
double feed errors.
If the feed roller is dirty, clean it. If paper jams or double feed 
errors continue to occur even after cleaning, purchase an 
Exchange Roller Kit and replace the rollers (feed roller and 
retard roller), and document holding guides. (See p. 9-8.)

5.Fingerprint Sensor (ScanFront 300P)
The ScanFront 300P is equipped with a fingerprint sensor for registering fingerprints and authenticating users. 
The fingerprint sensor is a precision component. Be careful when handling this sensor. 
❏Cautions for Handling the Fingerprint 
Sensor
 
●The following actions may damage the fingerprint 
sensor or cause it to malfunction. Read this 
information carefully to avoid damaging the 
sensor.
– Dropping an object on the fingerprint sensor, or 
otherwise subjecting it to a strong impact
– Scratching the surface of the fingerprint sensor, 
or poking it with a pointed object
– Pressing a hard object such as a fingernail or 
metal item against the fingerprint sensor
– Touching the fingerprint sensor with dirty hands
– Placing a sticker on the surface of the fingerprint 
sensor, or covering the surface with ink or 
another substance
●If fingerprint authentication fails frequently, the 
fingerprint sensor may be dirty. Clean the surface 
of the fingerprint sensor regularly. 
●When cleaning the fingerprint sensor, use a soft 
dry cloth to wipe dirt off the surface. ●Do not use a pointed object to remove any dirt that 
accumulates around the fingerprint sensor. Doing 
so may cause the fingerprint sensor to 
malfunction. 
●Touching the fingerprint sensor while charged with 
static electricity may cause the fingerprint sensor 
or scanner unit to malfunction. Before touching the 
fingerprint sensor, discharge any static electricity 
by touching a piece of metal. Be especially careful 
during dry periods, such as the winter season, 
when the likelihood of being charged with static 
electricity is high.

Chapter 2   Handling
❏Fingerprint Authentication
●Follow the procedure below to use fingerprint 
registration and authentication. 
1. Align the first joint of a finger on the sensor and 
press the finger on the fingerprint sensor. 
2. Keep the finger pressed while slowly sliding it 
straight at a constant speed to scan the 
fingerprint. 
 
●Fingerprint authentication uses the unique 
information of fingerprints. The fingerprint 
authentication function may not work properly for a 
finger with a fingerprint that is worn down or has 
few distinguishable features.
●The same finger needs to be scanned three times 
to register the fingerprint. 
●The authentication performance differs depending 
on the condition of the fingerprint when it is 
registered and when it is authenticated. The 
following conditions may cause an error in 
fingerprint authentication:
– The finger is wet or sweaty
– The finger is dirty
– The grooves of the fingerprint are filled with 
sweat or oil
– The finger is dry (dry skin)
– Part of the fingerprint is missing because of, for 
example, a wound or burn injury
– The fingerprint has worn thin●Authentication performance may improve if the 
condition of the fingerprint is improved as a result 
of washing your hands or applying hand cream.
●Authentication may not be performed properly 
depending on the speed with which you slide your 
finger over the sensor. In this case, adjust the 
speed with which you slide your finger in 
accordance with the message that appears. 
●Fingerprint authentication does not necessarily 
guarantee the authentication and verification of the 
identity of a person. 
Hint
For details on the procedures for fingerprint registration and 
authentication, see Chapter 5 “Operating Procedures”.
