Scanned image is slanted. The document guides are not adjusted 
to the size of the document being 
scanned. The document to be scanned 
is set slanted on the feed tray.Adjust the document guides properly to 
the size of the document being 
scanned.
Right and left sides of the document to 
be scanned are not of the same height, 
due to curl and fold.Remove curl and fold, and flatten the 
document.

to be scanned may become curled on
the feed tray.
This may cause paper jams or 
skewing.Using the mixed batch card guide

from becoming curled on the feed tray. 
						

							Troubleshooting

Double feeding or skewing 
problems occur frequently, or 
the scanner stops feeding 
while scanning.The document is not loaded properly. The documents feed better when all 
the edges are aligned slantwise (See 
pages 21 to 22).
The height of all the documents 
exceeds the limit.The height of all the documents on the 
feed tray should be less than 5 mm 
(0.2 in.).
The documents in any different sizes 
are scanned altogether.When scanning the documents in any 
different sizes altogether, make sure to 
place all the documents to be scanned, 
in the center of the document guides 
on the feed tray with the Deskew 
function turned on. For more details on 
the Deskew function, refer to the RTIV 
or PIE reference manual.
The document is curled or folded. Flatten the document, and load it again 
after flattening the pages.

scanned.Make a copy of the document on the 
specified paper (See page 20), and

mm (2.75 in.).Make a copy of the document on paper 
of the specified size, and scan the 
copy (See page 20).

to 29).
The rollers have reached their life 
expectancy.Replace the paper feed roller and the 
double-feed prevention roller (See 
pages 31 to 36).
Scanning an embossed card 
fails.It may be caused by the bend of the 
embossed card, and/or the height or 
shape of the embossing on the card.Place the embossed card upside 
down, and then try again.
The scanned document is 
blank.The document to be scanned was 
loaded face up.Load the document correctly
(See page 22).
