Did you scan a booklet?

Solution

When scanning an open booklet, load it face-down with the side which has more pages as the leading edge in the ADF paper chute (feeder). If you scan a booklet in the wrong orientation, the booklet may be damaged or the image may turn out elongated vertically.

Open the booklet fully and load it in the ADF paper chute (feeder). Otherwise, the booklet may not be fed.

If you scan a booklet as it is, and the scanned image turns out to be distorted, place the booklet inside the Booklet Carrier Sheet and perform a scan.
