Sheets of paper are not
fed (stops midway).
Is the pick roller dirty? Clean the pick roller following the instructions
in "8.3 Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap"
(page 208).
Is the pick roller worn? Replace the pick roller following the
instructions in "9.3 Replacing the Pick Roller"
(page 220).
Are there any foreign mate-
rials on the document feed
path?
Remove any foreign materials from the docu-
ment feed path. Refer to "7.1 Clearing Docu-
ment Jams" (page 196).
Does the loaded document
satisfy the conditions
described in "3.2 Paper
Sizes of Documents to be
Scanned" (page 43)?
If not, they may not pass
smoothly through the ADF.
Try the following:
• Slightly press down the first sheet of the
document with your finger at the beginning
of scanning.
• Change the sheet feeding direction.
The file size of a
scanned black-and-
white image is the
same as that of a color
document.
Is the black-and-white docu-
ment scanned in the "Color"
mode?
Select "B&W" from the [Color mode] pop-up
menu on the [Scanning] tab of the
"ScanSnap Manager - Scan and Save Set-
tings" window.
Images on the back-
side of the pages,
which are printed-
through, are overlaid
on the scanned image
when scanning a
double-sided
document (print
through).
Is the "Setting for text only
document" checkbox (which
is in the "Read mode option"
window opened by clicking
the [Option] button on the
[Scanning] tab of the "Scan-
Snap Manager - Scan and
Save Settings"
window) cleared?
Mark the "Setting for text only document"
checkbox.
Scanned images are
not displayed on the
screen (when "Allow
automatic blank page
removal" is enabled).
When "Allow automatic
blank page removal" is
enabled, almost blank
documents with only a few
characters may be
accidentally recognized as
blank pages and removed
from the scanned image
data.
In the "ScanSnap Manager - Scan and Save
Settings" window, select the [Scanning] tab,
click the [Option] button, and then clear the
"Allow automatic blank page removal" check-
box.
Scanned images are
skewed (when "Cor-
rect skewed character
strings automatically" is
enabled).
Are the document skewed
+/-5 degrees or more while
it is fed into the ADF?
This deskew function can correct a skew of
less than +/-5 degrees. Refer to ""Correct
skewed character strings automatically"
checkbox" (page 67). Load the document onto
the ScanSnap using the side guide (refer to
"3.3 Loading Documents" (page 46)) so that
the document skew does not exceed this limit.
Depending on the contents
of the document, the
automatic image deskew
may not work properly.
Refer to ""Correct skewed character strings
automatically" checkbox" (page 67).
