If documents do not feed properly, you need to adjust the gap between the separation roller and the feeding roller as follows.

Solution

If documents do not feed properly (sheets double-feed or no sheets are fed), you need to adjust the gap between the separation roller and the feeding roller as follows.


Make sure that the size, thickness, and weight of your document meets the conditions of this scanner.

  1. Hook your finger around the open lever and open the maintenance cover.



    When you open the maintenance cover, the power indicator blinks.

  2. Pull out the document feed tray.


  3. Load two checks or check-stock paper together.


  4. Slide the two sheets through between the feeding roller and the separation roller and stop at the position shown below.



    If you were unable to slide sheets through the gap between the rollers, turn the paper thickness adjustment dial counter-clockwise (left) until sheets two pieces easily slide through the gap.

  5. Gently remove one of the sheets.

  6. Adjust the gap between the feeding roller and the separation roller to optimum width.
    1While one sheet remains in place between the rollers, continuously attempt to slide the second sheet (in front of the remaining sheet) to the right, back through the roller gap.
    2Slowly turn the paper thickness adjustment dial clockwise (right) just until the second sheet stops feeding into the gap.
     

     

    Turning the adjustment dial clockwise too much may damage the rollers.

  7. Remove the sheets from the paper path and close the maintenance cover.

  8. Confirm that the document feeds properly.

  9. Place a marking label on the unit pointing to the adjustment dial as illustrated below. This will serve as a reference point for future adjustments if required.
