Scanning the following types of documents with the ADF might result in paper jams or damage to the
documents. To scan these documents, use the scanning glass instead of the ADF.
Wrinkled or creased documents Curled documents
Torn documents Documents with paper clips or staples
Carbon paper Coated paper
Extremely thin, translucent paper Paper with adhesive notes or flags
attached
Photos Overhead transparencies
Papers that are stuck together Paper with wet substances such as glue
or correction fluid
●
Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge
of a document is curled or folded, it may cause a paper jam.
●
When loading paper that is smaller than 148 mm (5.8 in) in width, place the long edge of the page parallel
to the paper guides.
●
To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper), place the
document face down on the scanning glass.
