than 7.5 mm (0.3 in.).
This compares to 75 sheets (80 g/m² or 20 lb.) of new

Single paper feeding is recommended for papers
exceeding the legal size length.

							Notes about documents for scanning•Depending on the paper type, scanning results may be poor when you scan unacceptable documents, or
even documents that should be acceptable.
If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, try scanning again after doing the following:
– Clean the rollers and sensors.
– Reduce the number of sheets of paper loaded on the feed tray.
– Change the scanning resolution.
Notes about double feed detection •This scanner is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to detect double feeding.
The width of documents that can be detected is A5 or larger (148 mm (5.8 in.)).18Operating ManualOperation 
						

							Scanning Documents
Notice•Make sure to remove paper clips and staples from documents before scanning. Failing to do so can
damage the unit, document, or both.
• Curled documents may cause a paper jam or damaging the document, therefore, set the document
flat before scanning.
• When scanning important documents, confirm that the number of scanned images matches the number
of pages in the document.
• Remove documents from the exit tray after they have been scanned.
1. Fan the documents.
• Documents that have been stapled together or stacked together (as in a file folder) will need to be
separated.
Fan the stack of documents to separate all the edges.
Hold both ends and bend the documents as shown in the illustration.
To flatten the documents, hold firmly and pull them apart as shown in the illustration.
Repeat these steps as necessary.
