•
When scanning semi-transparent documents, set the density to light to
avoid a bleed through.

To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents
containing large areas written or filled in pencil. If scanning of such docu-
ments is inevitable, clean the rollers more frequently.

ASSY or rollers (e.g. Pick roller) when documents are fed. Pay attention to
the following:
Cleaning:
Replacing parts: The service life of the Pad ASSY and the Pick roller
•
When scanning wood containing paper, the life of the Pad ASSY and the
Pick roller may be shortened compared to the case of scanning woodfree
paper.
If pick errors occur frequently, clean the Pad ASSY
and the Pick roller. For details on cleaning the Pad
ASSY and the Pick roller, refer to "3.2 Cleaning the
