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.

ATTENTION
  • Note 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.

HINT
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.

HINT
  • 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:

    1. [Paper Protection] in the scanner driver

    2. [Paper Protection (Touch Screen Settings)] on the touch screen

    3. [Paper protection] on the touch screen or [Paper Protection] on the Software Operation Panel
