Maximum number of originals scanned at one time
When you use "CONTINUE SCAN" with the Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), you can scan up to 150
original sheets at one time. When the number of sheets to be scanned exceeds 150 or the built-in memory in the
equipment is full, scanning stops and an error message is displayed on the LCD screen. Press any button on the
control panel to delete the scanned data.
Precautions for Reversing Automatic Document Feeder
Do not use the following types of original as they may cause a paper misfeed or damage to the equipment:
Originals that are folded or curled
Originals with carbon copies
Originals that have been taped, pasted, or cut-out
Originals that have been clipped or stapled
Originals with holes or tears
Originals that are damp
Originals whose correction fluid or ink has not been dried completely
Overhead transparencies or tracing paper
Coated paper (e.g. coated with wax)
Originals with multiple holes punched (e.g. loose leaf paper)
The following types of originals can be used but need extra care:
Originals that you cannot slide with your fingers or whose surface is specially treated: They should be fanned well
before loading since they may not be able to be separated from each other at feeding.
Originals that are folded or curled: They should be smoothed out before being loaded.
When black streaks appear
If the scanning area or the guide area is dirty, image problems such as black streaks may occur. Weekly cleaning of
these areas is recommended.
