Operating Instructions
1. Loading Documents
Open the document feeder tray. Fan the edges of the documents to prevent misfeeds. Place the documents face-down in the feeder, ensuring they are aligned with the paper guides. The scanner supports various sheet sizes, including 2 x 2.13 inches, 8.5 x 14 inches, and extended documents up to 8.5 x 220 inches, as well as receipts, ID cards, and photos.
2. Initiating a Scan
Once documents are loaded, press the 'Scan' button on the scanner or initiate a scan from the PaperStream ClickScan software on your computer. The scanner's superior paper handling technologies, including a skew reducer, minimize jams and ensure stable feeding. Ultrasonic multifeed detection provides security against lost images by detecting when more than one sheet is fed at a time.
