Loading Documents
Acceptable documents
Document size:
Paper thickness: Continuous paper feeding 40~157 g/m
2
Single paper feeding 20~157 g/m2
Document smaller than A7 size 157 g/m2 (42 lbs.) only
Maximum number of sheets loadable on the hopper tray:
≥Each number of sheets indicates a guideline for fresh paper.
≥The number of sheets depends on the paper quality. If a paper feed problem occurs, reduce the number of sheets 
of the document loaded on the hopper.
≥The height of the document should not exceed the limit mark on the document guide.
Recommendable paper: Plain paper
The following types of documents may not be scanned properly.
≥Broken or notched documents
≥Curled, wrinkled or folded documents
≥Perforated or punched documents
≥Not rectangular or irregularly shaped documents
≥Tracing paper
≥Thermal paper
When scanning is not performed properly, try the following methods:
≥Set the feed speed to “Slow”.
≥Scan the documents by manual feeding.
≥Set the paper path selector to straight.
The following types of documents may cause frequent jams and double feeding.
≥Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
≥Paper with carbon
≥Carbonless paper
If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, clean the rollers.
When a jam occurs at the document feeder, reduce the number of sheets loaded on the hopper to about 20.
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.
Be sure to remove the document from the exit tray after it is scanned.
When scanning different size documents, scanned sheets may need to be reordered for optimum performance.
Thick, thin or important document should be scanned by fed manually one sheet at a time.g/m

∫When scanning multiple sheets
Cautions:
≥Please remove any staples from the document before scanning.
≥Curled documents may cause a paper jam or damaging the unit, so please set the document flat before scanning.
≥When scanning very important documents, confirm if the number of scanned images matches the number of 
actual pages.
1Documents that have been stapled
together or stacked together (as in a
file folder) will need to be separated.
1Fan the stack of documents to
separate all the edges.
2Hold both ends and bend the
documents as shown in the
illustration.
3To flatten the documents, hold firmly
and pull them apar t 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
documents.

4Place the documents on the hopper
with the side to be scanned facing up.
Then push them in the direction of the
arrow until they stop.
≥Be sure to place the documents on the
hopper as shown in the diagram at the
right.
The amount of documents should not
exceed the limit mark on the document
guide. This may cause a paper jam or
skew.
≥The scanning document size is different
for the KV-S3065CL and KV-S3065CW.
Please refer to page 34 “Specifications”
for details.
≥For documents up to A4, letter or legal
size, up to 300 sheets of 64 g/m
2 (17 lbs.)
paper can be placed at one time on the
hopper. For documents up to B4, A3 or
ledger size, up to 200 sheets of 64 g/m
2
(17 lbs.) paper can be placed.
≥Even with A4, letter and legal size docu-
ments, the maximum number of sheets of
paper which can be inserted when the
documents are to be scanned in the land-
scape mode is 200 which is the same
number as for the B4, A3 and ledger size
documents. (This is the number of sheets
that comes up to the B4-A3 limit mark.)
≥Depending on the types of paper, the doc-
ument may slip and not be fed smoothly.
In such case, reduce the number of
sheets of the document.
5Adjust the document guides to the size
of the document to be scanned. 
Adjust the exit document guides to the
size of the document to be output, if
required.

6When using long paper, pull out the
hopper extension tray from the hopper
and the exit stopper from the exit
extension tray. 
You can also extend the exit extension
tray, if required. (See fig. 1)
≥When scanning narrow documents as
shown below, pull up the exit substopper.
(See fig. 2) 
≥Thin paper document may curl and not be
stacked correctly.
When scanning thin documents, raise the
exit substopper slightly to let the docu-
ment exit smoothly. (See fig. 3)

Paper Feed Settings
∫Selecting the paper path for scanned document
To select a U-turn path pass through to the
front, set the paper path selector to the
upper side.
To select a straight path pass through to the
back, set the paper path selector to the
lower side.
≥When scanning documents with a thickness of
0.2 mm to 1 mm, like folded documents, set the
paper path selector to straight path.
∫Setting the ADF / manual feed selector
¥Single scanning
When scanning a single sheet or several 
sheets, set the ADF / manual feed 
selector to “MANUAL”.
¥Continuous scanning
≥The ADF / manual feed selector must be set
in the correct position for this setting to
function properly.
≥If double feed alarm beeps frequently,
change the ADF / manual feed selector.

causes a paper jam frequently at the paper feed 
component, the optional roller exchange kit for thin

∫How to use the control sheet and separation sheet
If the control sheet is used, the documents
under the control sheet are scanned in
accordance with the code on the control
sheet regardless of scanning condition that
is selected previously.
≥Multiple control sheets can be used.
≥When using a control sheet, the application
software required depends on the control
sheet.
≥Print out control sheets from the provided CD-
ROM.
Cautions:
≥Use the same size control sheet as the
scanning document.
≥When printing the control sheet, if the pattern
falls in the area from the top side of the
document to 25 mm, adjust the printer.
Also, copy the control sheet so that the pattern
lies in the center of the copy.
≥Be careful not to get the control sheet dirty. 
Do not fold or crease the control sheet.
Scanning will not be performed properly.
≥For details on control sheet and separation
sheet, refer to section 3.35 Detect Control Sheet
and section 3.36 Detect File Separation Sheet in
the PIE Reference Manual.
