Document Preparation

General Guidelines

Data Collection

• Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the
scanner and documents.
• If the forms were folded, we recommend unfolding
them and laying them flat for 24 hours in a climate
controlled (60º to 80º F or 16º to 27º C and 40-60%
humidity) environment.
• Align the forms so that all sheets have the same orien-
tation.
• Jog (align by tapping on a hard surface) the forms on
the leading edge (form ID edge) and timing mark
edge.
• Ensure that the forms are placed into the input tray
with the front side down (because it is a bottom feed
scanner). Also ensure that the timing marks are on the
right side (both front and back) when you are facing
the input tray.
