Operating the scanner Using the ADF With the ADF you can load and scan a stack of document pages for continuous scanning. Before you use the ADF, however, you should know about the following recommendations and restrictions. ADF loading guidelines Check the stack of sheets before you load it in the ADF and follow these recommendations: •...
Loading documents in the ADF Follow this procedure to load documents into the ADF. To prevent double feeding, separate sheets before you stack them and load them in the ADF. Caution! Check the sheets and make sure all fasteners such as staples, pins, etc. have been removed.
Page 34
Operating the scanner Place the stack on the hopper with the side to be scanned facing up, then push the stack in the direction of the arrow until it stops. You can load up to 200 sheets of paper in the hopper, but you must not exceed the load limit mark.
Page 35
Perform this step if you are loading very long or very narrow paper. Long paper: When loading long paper in the ADF, pull out the hopper exten- sion tray. Set the exit document stopper slightly longer than the actual length of the document pages by pressing down slightly and sliding it in the direction of the arrow.
Operating the scanner Feeding a document manually from the ADF Follow this procedure to set the ADF to feed one sheet at a time. Set the manual feed selector to MANUAL. The hopper rises automatically to the cor- rect height for manual feeding. Set the document guide to the width of the sheet.
Using the flatbed to scan documents Use the flatbed to scan documents which cannot be loaded in the ADF, such as pages of open books or magazines, add size pages, or easily torn documents. Loading the flatbed Open the document cover. Place the scanning side of the sheet face down on the document glass.
Page 38
Operating the scanner Slowly close the document cover onto the sheet. • Always close the document cover be- fore scanning. • Always close the document cover slowly to prevent the sheet on the flatbed from shifting out of position. • After scanning the sheet, remove it from the flatbed immediately.
Loading the flatbed for repeated scanning The ADF is heavy. When you need to use the flatbed for scanning many pages, separate the ADF from the document cover. Separate the ADF from the docu- ment cover. Pull out the exit document stop- per in the direction of the arrow.
Operating the scanner Using control sheets By using the provided control sheets, you can scan documents of different types all in one job. When a control sheet is included in a stack of docu- ments, all documents following the control sheet are scanned using the settings that have been pre- viously assigned to that sheet.
Clearing paper jams Torn sheets, thin sheets, or sheets that are creased on the top edge may cause paper jams. If a paper jam occurs, a message will be displayed on the LCD: U xx JAM. Follow the procedure below to remove the jammed sheet. Removing a jammed paper from the feed slot While pressing down the ADF door release, open the ADF door and...
Operating the scanner Removing a paper jam from the paper output slot Follow this procedure to remove a jammed sheet from the paper output slot. Open the ADF and remove the jammed sheet. Slide the exit document stopper. Pull out the Front door release located under the hopper.
Cleaning the scanner Follow the procedures below to clean outside and inside the scanner. Cleaning the scanner exterior Clean the surfaces of the scanner at least once a month. Switch the scanner off and discon- nect the power plug from the power source.
