Paper handling challenges and solutions
Input tray capacity
Paper weight and size determine how much paper can feed smoothly
from the input tray. The input tray will accommodate 80 pages of 20 lb
(80 g/m
2
) paper. Even if you use thinner paper, do not load more than
80 sheets:
Preparing documents for scanning
The pages being scanned and physical setup of the scanner affect how
smoothly your input pages will feed into the scanner and stack after
passing through the scanner. Standard paper size pages feed easily.
Be sure your pages conform to size, weight, and type of documents that
the scanner can handle. See the scanner specifications for your
scanner model, at
E1030:
E1040:
Follow these “good practices” tips to ensure good feeding:
1. Remove all staples and paper clips from the pages. Staples and
paper clips may damage the scanner and your pages.
2. All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started.
3. If your pages stick together, they may have trouble feeding one by
one. Fan the pages to help them separate, before putting them in
the input tray. It can be helpful to fan them in two directions if they
stick tightly together (e.g. because of static or because they are very
smooth).
4. After fanning, straighten the stack of pages. If the pages have mixed
sizes, straighten just at the edge that will lead them into the scanner.
If the pages are all the same size, straighten them first on a side
edge and then on the lead edge.
5. Place the pages centered in the input tray, between the side guides.
Position the front side of your pages face down against the input
tray and the top of the pages into the input tray, lead edge first.
Extend the input tray so it supports the input stack.
