Feeding Documents Manually

Documents can also be loaded manually one sheet at a time in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

The scanner waits for the next document to be loaded within a specified time. Scanning will continue as long as another document is loaded within the set time, and stops if no document is loaded.

By using this method, you can perform scanning as you check the documents one by one.

Manual feeding is effective in the following cases:

  • To scan documents as you check the contents of each sheet

  • To scan documents that are fed overlapped or jammed when the documents are loaded together in a batch

  • To continue scanning documents such as magazines or newspaper clippings that cannot be loaded together, one at a time

  • To scan a document folded in half, an envelope, or a multi-layered transfer paper one at a time

  1. Configure the settings for the scanner.

    • When scanning more than one document manually

      1. In the [Manual Feeding] screen on the touch screen, set [Continuous Feed Mode] to on and specify [Timeout seconds].

        The [Manual Feeding] screen can be displayed in the following procedure:

        Settings → [Scanner Settings] → [Paper Source/Feeding] → [Manual Feeding]

        When using the Software Operation Panel, refer to Waiting Time in Manual Feeding [Manual Feeding].

    • When scanning a document folded in half, an envelope, or a multi-layered transfer paper manually

      1. Slide the feed mode switch to the left to switch the feed mode to Manual Single Mode.

      2. In the [Manual Feeding] screen on the touch screen, specify [Timeout seconds].

        The [Continuous Feed Mode] setting is ignored, and the [Timeout seconds] setting is enabled.

        The [Manual Feeding] screen can be displayed in the following procedure:

        Settings → [Scanner Settings] → [Paper Source/Feeding] → [Manual Feeding]

        When using the Software Operation Panel, refer to Waiting Time in Manual Feeding [Manual Feeding].

    ATTENTION

    For details about the paper weights of the documents that can be scanned, refer to Documents for Scanning.

    When a document folded in half is scanned, the document may be fed skewed if the folded part is too thick.

  2. Load a document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    Load the document face-down in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    To scan a multi-layered transfer paper, position the bound edge first when loading the paper.

  3. Scan documents with the image scanning application.

    For details, refer to the help for the image scanning application.

    After the document is scanned, the rollers inside the ADF keep rotating, waiting for the next document to be loaded until the timeout time specified in the touch screen or Software Operation Panel.

    When the Scanner is in Manual Single Mode, it waits for the next document to be loaded without having the rollers inside the ADF rotate.

  4. Load the next document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
  5. Repeat step 4 until all documents are scanned.

    Scanning will stop if no document is loaded in the ADF paper chute (feeder) within the timeout time specified in the touch screen or Software Operation Panel.

HINT

  • Pressing the [Stop] button on the touch screen while the scanner is waiting for the next document to be loaded will stop the scan immediately.

  • The scanner will wait for documents to be loaded until the specified timeout time elapses even if you start scanning with no document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

  • If you use manual feeding frequently, the replacement cycle of the consumables may be shortened.
