The following conditions apply when a mixed batch of documents with different paper sizes is scanned.

Make sure to test a few sheets first to check if the mixed batch of documents can be fed.

For details about scanning, refer to Scanning Documents with Different Widths.

Paper Direction

Align the direction of the paper fiber with the feed direction.

Document Position

Load all documents covering the width of the pick roller (approx. 40 mm (1.57 in.) wide).

For a guideline for mixed batch scanning, refer to Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch in Paper Size.

HINT

When the smallest document covers the width of the pick roller even when it is loaded towards one side as shown in the image below, load documents aligned on one side. So that it prevents documents from skewing when being fed.

Paper Size

When a mixed batch with different sizes is scanned, not feeding the documents straight may cause troubles such as paper jams or part of the image to appear missing.

It is recommended that you check the scanned images if the documents were fed skewed.

ATTENTION

When a mixed batch with different sizes is scanned, documents are more likely to skew because the side guides do not fit every sheet properly.

Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch

Refer to the table below for a guideline of the range available for mixed batch scanning.

LTR:	Letter size
*1:	The following figure shows how to set the widest and the narrowest documents of the batch between the side guides.

ATTENTION

A6 (portrait) and A7 (landscape) or less cannot be scanned with other paper sizes.
