Chapter 1 Scanner Overview
25
When you experience frequent multifeeds, pick errors or paper
jams, you can fix the problem by adjusting the force that
separates the papers. Keep the default setting for normal use.
Paper separation force can be set in five different levels.
Use the operator panel to adjust the paper separation force.
[11: Paper Separation Force] can be adjusted in the [Main
Menu] of the operator panel.
For more details about the settings, refer to
The paper separation force is set to [
] when the
power has just been turned on.
However, note that you can also have the paper separation
force setting memorized by using the Software Operation
Panel. For more details, refer to
Force upon Turning the Power Off [Retain current paper
thickness]" (page 179)

Set the paper separation force lower when pick errors or
paper jams occur frequently.
Set the paper separation force higher if multifeeds occur
frequently when the paper separation force is low.
Errors such as multifeed, pick error and paper jam may also
be caused by worn-out consumables or contamination in
the feeding mechanism. If these symptoms do not improve
after changing the paper separation force, either replace the
consumables or clean the inside of the scanner.
Documents may be damaged if the paper separation force
is set too high. In that case, set the paper separation force
lower.
[Paper Separation Force] can also be displayed by shortcut
key. To display the [Paper Separation Force] screen by shortcut
key, press the [
] or [

Change the paper separation force by using the [
] or [

button.
When [Paper Separation Force] is displayed by shortcut key,
the screen returns to [Ready] after a certain period of time.
This period of time can be configured in [18: Operation Panel
Timeout] of the operator panel.
