5.5 Loading Fragile Originals
On Scanners:
On these scanners, gentle-feed control lets you protect very fragile documents by manually
engaging the document into the drive system without feeding its edges into the rollers.
1. Raise the scanning area lid.
2. The rollers will lift and open the drive pinch.
3. Position your fragile document with the top edge past the backmost rollers.
4. Close the scanning area lid. The document will then be safely engaged in the drive
system.
Loading fragile originals:
On All Scanners
Through your scanning application, you can set the scanner to feed and scan at a slower
speed. See the previous section describing the Soft-handling option.
5.6 Pressure Weights – fine-adjusting for optimal pressure
On Scanners:
On these scanners you can fine-adjust the pressure-platen’s pressure on the original. You can
add or remove one or more of the pressure-platen’s loose pressure-weight-strips to give the
specific original optimal contact with the glass-plate. This is useful when scanning originals that
are either stiff or fragile.
To apply/remove weights:
1. Open the scanning area lid.
2. The pressure-weight-strips rest on the white pressure-platen.
3. To stabilize the weights on the pressure-platen, fit the holes in the pressure-weight-
strips into the pins on top of the platen.
4. Normal weight for most original types is applied with 2 pressure-weight-strips.
5. Remove 1 or both pressure-weight-strips for thin fragile originals.
6. Add 1 or 2 additional pressure-weight-strips for stiff originals.
