Using the Optional ADF
The optional automatic document feeder (ADF) (part number GT10000ADF)
automatically loads multi-page documents into your scanner. It is particularly useful
for optical character recognition (OCR) scanning or for creating an image database.
To use the ADF with your OCR software, you must install EPSON TWAIN Pro or
the ISIS driver that comes with the optional ADF. (See the ISIS Driver Guide that
comes with the optional ADF for instructions.)
The ADF is large and heavy. Clear a wide space around the
scanner before installing the ADF. You may need to have
someone help you unpack and lift it.
You can purchase the optional ADF from your reseller or from EPSON Accessories at
[phone] (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call [phone] for dealer
referral. Or visit our web site at www.epsonsupplies.com (U.S. sales only).

40 Using the Optional ADF
Before loading the ADF, make sure the document:
■Has no wet ink on it.

■Is not ripped or wrinkled.
■Has no staples or other objects attached that may damage the feeder.
■Has no folds.
■Is not a multipart form.

When scanning high-quality color or halftone documents, it’s
