The scanner can scan documents ranging in size from business cards and checks to LTR/A4. The document sizes that this scanner can scan are shown below.

Plain Paper

Size

Width: 50.8 mm to 215.9 mm (2" to 8.5")

Length: 53.9 mm to 355.6mm (2.12" to 14")*

Paper weight

Normal mode: 52 to 128 g/m2 (14 to 32 lb bond)
0.06 mm to 0.15 mm (0.0024" to 0.0059")

Bypass mode: 40 to 157 g/m2 (11 to 42 lb bond)
0.05 mm to 0.20 mm (0.002" to 0.0079")

* You can scan documents up to 3,000 mm (118.1") long by setting the scanner to the Long Document mode.

 

A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:

  • When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers.
  • It is recommended that documents exceeding LTR, A4 (210 mm x 297 mm (8.27" x 11.69")) size are fed one sheet at a time.
  • Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
  • Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the parts of the scanner after scanning such documents.
  • When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. In this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software before scanning the document.
  • It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a time.

Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy.

 

 

Wrinkled or creased documents

 

Carbon paper

 

Curled documents

 

Coated paper

 

Torn documents

 

Extremely thin, translucent paper

 

Documents with paper clips or staples

 

Documents with excessive paper dust particles.

If a stack of business cards cannot be fed properly, reduce the number of cards in the stack.

Embossed cards can be scanned.

 

  • If you place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected properly, and cards that get jammed may be damaged when you remove them. Take care of the orientation when placing cards.
  • Embossed cards may not be able to be scanned correctly, depending on the type of embossment.
