A.2 Paper Quality
402
ATTENTION
Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the brake rollers or other
rollers (such as the pick roller) when documents are fed. Pay attention to the following:
Cleaning
If paper jams occur frequently, clean the brake rollers and pick roller. For details about
cleaning, refer to "Chapter 6 Scanner Care" (page 341).
Replacing parts
The service life of the brake rollers and pick roller may be shortened when compared to
scanning only wood containing paper documents.
When wood containing paper documents are scanned, the life of the brake rollers and pick
roller may be shortened compared with the case where woodfree paper documents are
scanned.
When glossy paper documents, such as photographs, are scanned, the surface of the
documents may be damaged.
When scanning plastic cards, be aware of the following:
Use plastic cards that meet the specifications below.
Plastic cards that comply with the ISO7810 ID-1 type
Size: 85.6 × 53.98 mm
Thickness: 0.76 mm or less
Material: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyvinyl chloride acetate (PVCA)
Before scanning, check that the plastic cards can be fed through the scanner.
Plastic cards that are hard and not easy to bend may not be fed smoothly.
If the surface of the card is dirty with grease, such as fingerprints, wipe off before
scanning.
When you scan shiny plastic cards, the image may be partially lighter or darker than the
original. Example: a gold credit card
When you scan embossed cards, face the embossed side down and load them in a
landscape orientation.
Scanning thick documents such as a plastic card incorrectly detects it as a multifeed
error. To avoid this, disable the intelligent multifeed detection mode or the multifeed
detection.
HINT
When scanning semi-transparent documents, set the scan [Brightness] to a lighter level to
avoid image bleed through.
Clean the rollers as frequently as possible when you scan documents written in pencil,
because pencil traces may smudge other documents. Unclean rollers may also cause a
paper feed error.
For details about cleaning, refer to "Chapter 6 Scanner Care" (page 341).
When scanning documents with the ADF, the leading edges of all the documents must be
aligned. The curling of the leading edge must be within the following tolerances:
More than
30 mm
Feed direction
Side being
scanned
Leading edge
of document
Less than 3 mm
More than
30 mm
Feed direction
Side being
scanned
Leading edge
of document
Less than 5 mm
