Placing Documents
Place documents on the platen glass or in the feeder. Use the platen glass when scanning thick or bound documents
such as books. You can load two or more sheets of documents in the feeder so that they can be scanned continuously.
For information about the types of documents that can be placed on the platen glass or in the feeder, and information
about the scannable area of a document, see
Placing Documents on the Platen Glass(P. 36)
Placing Documents in the Feeder(P. 37)
Use documents that are completely dry
When placing documents, make sure that any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the documents has completely
dried.
To avoid paper jams
Do not place the following types of documents in the feeder as this may cause paper jams:
●
Wrinkled or creased paper
●
Carbon paper or carbon-backed paper
●
Curled or rolled paper
●
Coated paper
●
Torn paper
●
Onion skin or thin paper
●
Stapled or clipped documents
●
Paper printed by a thermal transfer printer
●
Transparencies
To scan documents more accurately
Documents placed in the feeder are scanned while being fed into the machine. On the other hand, documents
placed on the platen glass remain in a fixed position while they are scanned. To ensure more accurate scanning
results, placing documents on the platen glass is recommended.
To scan tracing paper or transparencies
To scan transparent documents (for example, tracing paper or transparencies), place them on the platen glass.
