HP Scanjet Enterprise 9000 Sheet-feed Scanner - Manual (Page 9)

• Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to
the documents.

Torn documents Documents with paper clips
or staples
Carbon paper Coated paper
Extremely thin, translucent

flags attached

• Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder.
If the leading edge of a document is curled or folded, it may cause a paper jam.
• When loading paper that is smaller than 74 mm (2.9 in) in one dimension (such as
business cards), place the pages with the long side parallel to the paper guides.
• To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very
lightweight paper), place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve no
wider than 300 mm (11.8 in) before loading them into the document feeder.
TIP: If you do not have an appropriately-sized document sleeve, consider using
a sleeve intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the sleeve
is no more than 300 mm (11.8 in) wide.
• Make sure that the hatch on the document feeder is securely latched. To properly
close the hatch, press until you hear a click.
• Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Make sure that the paper
guides touch the edges of the original. If there is any clearance between the paper
guides and the edges of the documents, the scanned image might be skewed.
• When placing a stack of documents into the feeder, gently set the stack in the
document feeder. Do not drop the stack into the feeder and do not tap the top edge
of the stack after you have placed the stack in the document feeder.
