This section describes the types and weights of paper that the scanner can read and precautions in
preparing documents to ensure maximal scanner functioning.
■
Document type
The recommended paper type for documents is as follows:
• Woodfree paper
• Plain paper (for example, the paper type specified for XEROX 4024)
When using any other type of paper, test feed a few sheets with the ADF to ensure the paper feeds
properly before performing a large-scale reading operation.
Any paper can be used on the Document bed. However, the ground color specification must satisfy the
specification described in the Grounding Color Area section.
■
Paper weight
The paper weight should fall within the following ranges:
• 52 to 127 g/m
2
(13.9 to 34 lb), 127g/m
2
(34lb) for A8
■
Precautions
A preliminary document feed test may be necessary to avoid unexpected errors. If document slip or jam in
the ADF (JAM error) or double feed occurs frequently, read the documents manually using the Document
bed.
The following documents may be difficult to read properly using the ADF:
• Paper with clips or staples.
• Paper written on with wet ink.
• Paper of uneven thickness (for example, envelopes).
• Paper with large rumples or curls.
• Paper with folds or tears.
• Tracing paper.
• Coated paper.
• Carbon paper.
• Paper smaller than A8 (vertical)
