4. LOADING A DOCUMENT
4.3 Making the Document Hold-Down Unit Force Settings
Changing the position of the lever at the right side of the top cover enables you to switch
between two hold-down force settings. Use this facility according to the status of the
document to be scanned.
Standard High
High .............. Use this setting with:
• Plain paper with a thickness of 0.8 mm or higher
• Documents with creases or strongly curled documents where the creases
or curl affect the scanning quality
Standard ...... This mode is normally used to scan a document.
• Do not use the “High” setting with paper less than 0.8 mm thick or with fine or limp
documents, as the document may become damaged or jammed in the scanner. The
“High” setting has a stronger hold-down force than that of the “Standard” setting,
and may cause damage to thin documents. In addition, because the precision
accuracy also differs, a distance correction operation may need to be performed
when you switch from one setting to the other.
• Use the carrier sheet when scanning film documents or similar.
• Be sure to use the “Standard” setting with photographs or other documents that have
a glossy surface. If you use the “High” setting, the document may stick to the scanner
glass and adversely affect the scanning quality.
• Always ensure that you check the lever status before using the scanner, because
the modes may switch if the scanner has been subjected to a strong vibration as
a result of being dropped or shaken.
