Loading Documents
1Documents that have been stapled
together or stacked together (as in a
file folder) will need to be separated.

rate all the edges.
2Hold both ends and bend the docu-
ments as shown in the illustration.
3To flatten the documents, hold firmly
and pull them apart as shown in the
illustration.
Repeat these steps as necessary.
2Carefully align the documents.
3Adjust the document guides slightly
larger than the actual size of the docu-

4When scanning paper longer than the
feed tray, pull out the feed extension
tray from the feed tray and the exit
extension tray as shown in the figure
on the right.
≥The exit extension tray of KV-S2045C,
KV-S2045CU, KV-S2046C and KV-S2046CU
is fixed. Adjust the position of the exit
stopper.
≥When using small sized documents like
business cards, raise the business card
guides and the business card stopper.
Caution:
Do not use the business card guides and the
business card stopper for larger documents
than their acceptable size. It will cause paper
jams.
5Place the documents on the feed tray
with the side to be scanned facing up. 
≥Be sure to place the documents on the
feed tray as shown in the figure on the
right.
≥The amount of documents should not
exceed the limit mark on the document
guide. This may cause a paper jam or
skew.

to 216 k 356 mm (8.5 k 14 in.)
Paper thickness: 
Single paper feed: 0.05 
to 0.15 mm (2.0 to 5.9 mils)
Continuous paper feed: 0.06 to 0.15 mm (2.36 to 5.9 mils)
Paper weight:
Single paper feed: 40 to 127 g/m
2 (10.7 to 33.9 lbs.)
Continuous paper feed: 50 to 127 g/m2 (13.3 to 33.9 lbs.)
If you scan other types of documents, paper jamming or multiple-sheet feeding may occur.
≥Scanning paper such as carbons or carbonless paper may cause skewing, paper jamming or multiple-sheet
feeding because it makes the rollers dirty and the chemicals may cause the rollers to swell up.
≥The amount of documents should not exceed the limit mark on the document guide. This may cause a paper
jam or skew.
≥Be sure to remove the document from the exit tray after it is scanned.
≥When you scan the irregular or fragile documents, it is recommended to make a copy and use the copy to scan.
≥When scanning a curled or folded document, load the document after flattening it.
Types of documents to avoid:
≥OHP sheets, other plastic films, cloths, or metallic sheets.
≥Paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, paste, etc.
≥Documents with wet ink
≥Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes, documents that are glued together, etc.
≥Copying paper such as carbon paper
≥Damaged or wrinkled documents
≥Irregularly shaped documents
≥Photographs
