Protecting the Documents from Being Damaged [Paper Protection]

Configure the setting to detect feeding errors.

This function detects feeding errors in the following cases:

When the scanner detects an abnormal document skew 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.

ATTENTION

fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270 is supported to detect paper jam noise.

Start up the Software Operation Panel.

For details, refer to Starting Up the Software Operation Panel.

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 and so that there is no space between the side guides and the document (especially for a mixed batch of documents with different lengths).
  
  If the top edges are not aligned properly, or if there is a space between the side guides and the document, the scan may stop even when the documents are being fed correctly.
HINT
- In the following cases, the scan may stop even when the documents are being fed correctly.
  
  If you scan a wrinkled document
  
  If you scan a document that is not square or rectangular
