For heavily damaged documents, a clear document protector can be
used with the following limitations:
– Manual feeding is recommended when using a clear document
protector.
– The document in the clear document protector must be fed under
both feed module tires.
– Multi-feed detection must be disabled when manually feeding a
document in a clear document protector.
NOTE: When using a document protector, feed the fold of the
document protector first rather than the open end.
The correct document preparation when using a document protector
is illustrated below:
Clear
Document
Protector
Original and recycled papers
Photographic papers
Bond (i.e., laser, inkjet, etc.)
Carbonless paper (some types of carbonless papers contain
chemicals that may react with feed module and separation tires
possibly requiring more frequent tire changes)
Offset printing papers (i.e., newspapers, magazine pages)
The elevator tray handles a broad range of paper weights, from 50g
(13 lb.) bond paper to 200g (110 lb.) index paper. Heavier documents
may be fed up to 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Manual feeding mode, using the
gap release lever, may be required to feed heavier paper weights.
Length:
– Maximum of 76.2 cm (30 in.) with operator-assisted document
feeding and stacking. 43.2 cm (17 in.) is the maximum length for
unattended document feeding.
– Minimum of 6.4 cm (2.5 in.).
Width:
