Follow these guidelines when you prepare a document for scanning:
• When scanning long documents, turn the Long Document Mode "ON" in the
user mode. (See "About the User Modes," on p. 70)
• Before scanning documents that contain pasted artwork, make sure that the ink
or paste on the pages is thoroughly dry. If the documents are scanned with the
ink or paste still wet, the scanner may malfunction.
• If you scan a document written in pencil, the letters may not scan properly or the
pencil may rub off onto the rollers and stain subsequent documents. Before you
scan this kind of document, make a copy and then scan the copy. After scanning
a document written in pencil or some other soft writing material, be sure to clean
the scanning rollers. (See "Cleaning the Feeder," on p. 94.)
• If you scan thin paper in the Duplex mode, the ink printed on the back side may
be scanned. In this case, adjust the scanning density.
