1.9 Adjusting the Paper Separation Force

When you experience frequent multifeeds, pick errors or
paper jams, you can fix the problem by adjusting the force that
separates the papers. Keep the default setting for normal use.
Paper separation force can be set in five different levels.
Low High Force Paper type
: Low Low friction, easy
to separate
: Slightly low
: Mid
: Slightly high High friction,
difficult to separate
: High (default)
Set the paper separation force lower when pick errors or
paper jams occur frequently.
Set the paper separation force higher if multifeeds occur
frequently when the paper separation force is low.
Errors such as multifeed, pick error and paper jam may also
be caused by worn-out consumables or contamination in
the feeding mechanism. If these symptoms do not improve
after changing the paper separation force, either replace the
consumables or clean the inside of the scanner.
Documents may be damaged if the paper separation force
is set too high. In that case, set the paper separation force
lower.
Use the operator panel to adjust the paper separation force.
