How to avoid paper jams 
•  Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the 
paper feed slot. If the leading edge of a document is curled or folded, it may 
cause a paper jam. 
•  To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very 
lightweight paper), place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve 
no wider than 216 mm (8.5 in) before loading them into the paper feed slot. 
 
TIP:    If you do not have an appropriately-sized document sleeve, consider 
using a sleeve intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the 
sleeve is no more than 216 mm (8.5 in) wide. 
•  Clean the scanning rollers after scanning a document that has pencil writing on it.
