Suitable Document Types

Never load damaged originals in the
ADF (Auto Document Feeder) for
scanning. Always check the stack of
originals before loading.
• Always check the sheets and re-
2
move staples, pins, paper clips, or
any other type of fasteners.
• If the sheets are curled or folded,
flatten them.
• Separate all the sheets to ensure
that they will not jam or double
feed during scanning.
• If the sheets are heavily creased,
torn, punched with holes for bind-
ing, or patched together with tape,
make copies and then load the cop-
ies in the ADF.
• Before loading a stack of originals,
make sure that they are all the
same size. Do not mix sheets of dif-
ferent sizes.
• Before loading a stack of originals,
always fan them to remove static
cling.
• To protect fragile or legal docu-
ments from damage due to docu-
ment jams, copy such documents
and then load the copies for scan-
ning.
