Place the document.
After placing the document, align the document guides with both
edges of the document.
IMPORTANT
• When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut
your hand on the edges of the paper.
• Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not
contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These
items may cause a fire or electrical shock, damage the document,
or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
• Do not load fragile or irreplaceable photos, or valuable original
documents or artwork, directly into the document feed tray. This
may wrinkle or damage the original. Load these originals one at a
time using a carrier sheet.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the
scanner while you are using it, as this may result in personal injury.
Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything gets caught in
the scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to stop scanning.
• Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before
placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is
curled, it may cause a paper jam.
• If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the
scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the
scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed has been
stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.
• After you finish scanning, push in the document eject tray to prevent
damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
• When scanning multiple page documents that are fastened
together, such as invoices, place the documents so that the edge
that is fastened together is facing down.
• If double-feeding occurs, press the scanner's DFR button to
continue the scan, or clear the [Detect by Ultrasonic] check box in
the [Feeding] tab on the scanner driver settings screen.

Placing Cards

When scanning cards, place one card at a time horizontally.
1
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the card to
be scanned.
2
Place the card horizontally, with the reverse side facing
you, and the top of the card facing down.
CAUTION
• Place the cards one at a time.
• When scanning cards, place them to be fed horizontally. If you
place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected properly,
and cards that get jammed may be damaged when you remove
them.
