4. LOADING A DOCUMENT

This chapter describes the document types compatible with your scanner and procedures
related to loading a document.

4.1 Compatible Document Types

Because the scanner scans a document while feeding it, the document types that it can
scan are subject to the following restrictions.
Compatible Media Widths for Scanning
Documents with a maximum width of 1066 mm
Size
A4 210 mm × 297 mm
A3 297 mm × 420 mm

A0 841 mm × 1189 mm
Compatible Media Lengths for Scanning
Documents up to approximately 16 m in length (driver software limitation) can be scanned.
However, the actual document length that can be scanned is limited by the available
memory (hard disk or other data storage device) of the computer to which the scanner
is connected, and also by the grade of the medium being scanned.
