•Single paper feeding is recommended for papers
exceeding the legal size length.
•When thin documents of 40 g/m² (10.7 lb.) or less are
scanned, we recommend that the feed speed is set to
"Slow". The feed speed can be set to "Slow" in the
TWAIN driver, the ISIS driver, or in Image Capture
Plus. For details, refer to the help of each piece of

–Use slow mode.
Slow mode can be used by enabling the slow mode of the TWAIN driver, the ISIS driver, or Image
Capture Plus. For details, refer to the help of each piece of software.
–When scanning a document using manual scanning, feed the document 1 page at a time.
•If paper jams occur at the exit slot, remove the exit guides and then scan the documents.
For details about removing the exit guides, refer to the step 4 in "Repacking Instructions".
