damage the unit, document, or both. •
Before feeding, ensure that the document is not creased or folded. If the document is creased or folded,
a paper jam or damage to the document may occur.
• When scanning important documents, confirm that the number of scanned images matches the number
of pages in the document. Also, check the condition of scanned documents.
• Remove documents from the exit tray after they have been scanned.
• Unsupported thin paper types may not exit at the exit slot correctly.

separated. Fan the stack of documents to separate all the edges.
Hold both ends and bend the documents as shown in the illustration.
