In this case, scan the document in black and white or reduce the Image Quality setting.
    • When Long Document Mode is set to [Long Document (3000 mm)] or [Long Document (5588 mm)] the scanned image may be lost if scanning is performed at 400/600 dpi or the scanning mode is set to color and the scanning side setting is "Duplex". In this case, lower the resolution , scan the document in black and white or select the "Simplex" scanning side setting.
    • If a sheet is loaded at a skewed angle when scanning long documents, it may be damaged by contacting  both sides of the feed path. Be careful to place the document so that it is not skewed.
    • Paper jam detection may react slowly when scanning long docuemts, which could result in damage to the jammed documents. Be especially careful to avoid paper jams.
    • To scan long documents, enable the [Separation Off], and manually feed pages one by one.
