Document Preparation

• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner for
document imaging must be arranged so the leading
edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the
input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce docu-
ments into the scanner one at a time.
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported
successfully through the scanner. However, no scan-
ner can transport every possible type of damaged
paper.
If in doubt about whether a specific damaged docu-
ment can be transported through the scanner, place
the document in a clear protective sleeve. Sleeved doc-
uments should be manually fed, one at a time, folded
edge first, while lifting the gap release lever. (Do
not use protective sheets for data collection scanning.)
NOTE: When scanning documents in a clear protective
sleeve, the input tray guides must be adjusted to
accommodate the width of the sleeve.
• Paper Types: Bond, Laser, Inkjet, Offset
Chemically coated papers may cause more rapid
NOTE:
wear/swelling of the rollers.
• Paper Inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started. This includes: standard offset
printing, inkjet printer, thermal transfer, handwriting
inks.
• Correction Fluids: Liquid Paper

out , and other similar correction fluids must be dry
before scanning is started. If not fully dry, correction
fluid can get on the imaging guides and cause errors.
• Paper Weights: 9 lb. bond to 110 lb. index (34 to
2
200 g/m kg)
• Minimum Document Size: 3.5" x 2.5" (8.9 x 5 cm)
• Maximum Document Size: 12" x 34" (30.5 x 86 cm)
