Paper Protection
- Paper protection
Configure the setting to detect feeding errors.
This function detects feeding errors in the following cases:
When the scanner detects a warped document caused by a feeding error
When the scanner detects paper jam noise
Paper jams due to feeding errors could damage or tear valuable documents.
Detecting a feeding error and stopping the scan can prevent damage to documents.
This function is effective when you scan documents which are difficult to feed such as thin paper documents.
- Detect
Specify a method to detect feeding errors.
Disable
Does not detect feeding errors.
Feeding Accuracy
Stops the scan when the scanner detects a warped document caused by a feeding error.
This is the factory default setting.
Feeding Noise
Stops the scan when the scanner detects paper jam noise.
Feeding Accuracy & Noise
Stops the scan when the scanner detects a warped document caused by a feeding error, or when the scanner detects paper jam noise.
- Feeding Accuracy Sensitivity
Specify the sensitivity level for detecting warped documents.
Low
Decreases the sensitivity level to detect warped documents.
Specify this to detect a warped document only if it is highly deformed.
Normal
Detects warped documents with the optimum sensitivity level.
This is the factory default setting.
High
Increases the sensitivity level to detect warped documents.
Specify this to detect a warped document even if it is slightly deformed.
- Feeding Noise Sensitivity
Specify the sensitivity level for detecting feeding noise.
Low
Decreases the sensitivity level to detect paper jam noise.
Specify this to detect only loud paper jam noise.
Normal
Detects paper jam noise with the optimum sensitivity level.
This is the factory default setting.
High
Increases the sensitivity level to detect paper jam noise.
Specify this to detect even slight paper jam noise.
ATTENTIONNote that the paper protection function is to prevent damages to documents, but the protection of all documents is not guaranteed.
When you use the paper protection function, make sure to load the documents with their top edges aligned (especially for a mixed batch of documents with different lengths).
If the top edges are not aligned properly, the scan may stop even when the documents are being fed correctly.
HINTIf you scan a wrinkled document, the scan may stop even when the document is being fed correctly.
In that case, the paper protection function can be disabled only for the document on the touch screen.
For details, refer to Disabling the Paper Protection Function.
If the paper protection function stops scans frequently, refer to Paper Protection Is Set Off Frequently.
- Paper Protection (Touch Screen Settings)
-
Configure the setting to detect feeding errors.
Specify this when [Prioritize the touch screen settings] is set to on.
Specify the following items:
Detect
Feeding Accuracy Sensitivity
Feeding Noise Sensitivity
For details about the setting items, refer to Detect.
- Prioritize the touch screen settings
Enable this option when you want some settings to be prioritized over the settings for [Paper Protection] and the Software Operation Panel.
[Prioritize the touch screen settings] is set to off as the factory default.
This setting can also be configured in the scanner driver.
When the paper protection setting is set to on in the scanner driver, [Feeding Accuracy & Noise] is enabled regardless of the setting on the scanner.
For the paper protection setting, priority will be given in the following order:
[Paper Protection] in the scanner driver
[Paper Protection (Touch Screen Settings)] on the touch screen
[Paper protection] on the touch screen or [Paper Protection] on the Software Operation Panel
