Document loading tips
The automatic document feeder (ADF) supports the following paper types.
Width:
Length:
Weight:
70–300 mm (2.75–11.8 in)
148–864 mm (5.8–34 in)
49–120 g/m 2 (13–32 lb)
•
NOTE: In the scanning software, set the page size to match the width and length of the paper that you are scanning.
Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to the documents. To scan these documents, make a photocopy, and then scan the copy instead.
Wrinkled or creased documents
Curled documents
Torn documents
Carbon paper
Documents with paper clips or staples
Coated paper
Extremely thin, translucent paper
Photos
Papers that are stuck together
Paper with adhesive notes or flags attached
Overhead transparencies
Paper with wet substances such as glue or correction fluid

Before loading documents, make sure that the ADF access doors are securely latched.
When loading a stack of documents, make sure that all of the documents are the same size.
The maximum capacity of the ADF is 200 sheets of 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) paper. When using heavier paper, the maximum capacity is decreased. Use the fill line, shown below, as a guide for the maximum height of the document stack.

Chapter 1
• For small or narrow documents, load the edge that is less than 148 mm (5.8 in) pointing into the feeder so that the longer edge can be pulled into the feeder and passed along by the feed rollers.
•
•
When loading small or lightweight documents, such as A6 cards (index cards) or U.S. check carbons, load a stack of at least five documents to ensure that the ADF properly detects and feeds the stack. When scanning fewer than five small or lightweight documents, scan the documents by placing them on the scanner glass.
When loading long documents that hang over the end of the input tray, pull out the input tray extender (1), and then load the documents (2).
How to load documents
1.
Flip up the paper stop in the output tray that best matches the size of the documents that you are scanning.
Select the stop position that is closest to (and beyond) the edge of your documents as they come out of the automatic document feeder (ADF).
6 Use the scanner
2.
Fan the stack of document pages to ensure that the pages do not stick together. Fan the edge that will be pointing into the ADF in one direction, and then fan that same edge in the opposite direction.
3.
Align the edges of the documents by tapping the bottom of the stack against the table top. Rotate the stack
90 degrees and repeat.
4.
Place the stack in the middle of the input tray. Load the stack face up. For fastest scanning, load the stack with the left edge leading into the ADF.
NOTE: In the scanning software, choose the layout setting that matches the orientation of the originals in the ADF.
5.
Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Take care not to overtighten the guides, which can restrict paper feeding, but make sure that the paper guides touch the edges of the documents.
