Placing a Mixture of Originals at Different Sizes

You can place and scan batches of different size originals (105.0×148.0 mm (4.13×5.83 in.) to A3 size) up to a total thickness of 16.5 mm (0.65 in.). You can also load a mixture of paper types or thicknesses.

Important:
  • When scanning originals that are a mixture of different sizes, they may feed crooked because not all of the originals are supported by the edge guides.

  • Originals may jam or feed crooked if you scan different types or very different sizes of originals, such as in the following cases.

    · Thin paper and thick paper

    ·A mixture of A3, A4, Letter, and smaller-sized paper

    · Combinations of folded or wrinkled paper

    If originals feed crooked, check the scanned images. If the image is skewed, reduce the number of originals loaded and scan again.

Note:

Check the following before scanning.

  • Make sure there are no originals on the scanner glass.

  • Make sure there is no dust or dirt in the areas indicated in the following illustration.

  1. Slide the edge guides on the input tray all the way out.

  2. Place the originals in the center of the input tray, face-up, with the widest original on the bottom and the rest of the originals in order of descending width.

    Important:

    Check the following points when loading different sizes of originals.

    • Slide the originals into the ADF with their leading edges aligned, until they meet resistance.

    • Load the originals at the center of the input tray.

    • Load the originals straight.

    Otherwise, originals may feed crooked or jam.

  3. Align the edge guides with the widest original.
