Chapter 2 Note Cover the document guides from above with the document guide adapters, and insert them as far as they will go, until they click into place. Document Guide Adapter Document Guide 3. Carefully close the upper unit. IMPORTANT Do not force the upper unit to close. Doing so can damage the scanner. 4. Be sure that the upper unit is completely closed by pushing on both edges with both hands until you hear a click.
IMPORTANT • Do not hold the tips of the document guide adaptors when moving them. Doing so can damage the document tray. • Before removing the document guide adapters, be sure to open the upper unit first. Using undue force when removing the document guide adaptors can damage the document tray. Document Eject Tray The scanner has two eject methods: documents can be ejected to the front of the scanner in a U-Turn path, or to the back of the scanner in a Straight Path.
Using the U-Turn Path 1. Lower the eject selection lever. Chapter 2 Scanned documents will be ejected to the document eject tray. Eject Selection Lever 2. Pull the document eject tray extension towards you to open it. IMPORTANT • Be careful when opening the document eject tray extension. Forcing it open can damage it. • Never try to raise the document eject tray extension more than necessary. Doing so can damage it. • Do not place anything other than documents on the document eject tray extension.
Using the Straight Path 1. Raise the eject selection lever. Scanned documents will be ejected to the back of the scanner. Eject Selection Lever Note When using the straight path, the ejected documents are stacked in reverse order to how they were fed. IMPORTANT • Be sure there is enough space for documents that are ejected behind the scanner when using the straight path. If there is not enough space for ejected documents, the documents may be damaged or a paper jam may occur.
There are two methods for paper separation, called the page separation mode and bypass mode for feeding documents. Feeding documents continuously from a stack of documents placed in the feed tray is called the page separation mode. Feeding documents one sheet at a time by hand or feeding multiple sheet documents, such as invoices that are attached at one end, is called the bypass mode. The document feed method can be switched by moving the feed selection lever.
2. Straighten the edges of the stack of documents to be scanned. CAUTION • Do not place the documents on top of the scanner to align them. Doing so may cause a malfunction. • Be careful when placing a document in the scanner. It is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper. 3. Set the document guides so they are wider than the document to be scanned. IMPORTANT Do not hold the tips of the document guide adaptors when moving them. Doing so can damage the document tray.
Chapter 2 4. Place the documents face up into the feed tray, so that they touch the stoppers. Stopper IMPORTANT There is a load limit mark ( ) on the document guides. Do not stack documents higher than this mark (approximately 50 sheets of 20 lb bond (80 g/m2) paper). Doing so may cause a paper jam. 5. Adjust the document guides so they match the width of the document. Note Before starting a scan, make sure that the document is loaded in the scanner correctly.
IMPORTANT • If the paper feed operation stops due to a system error or a paper jam while the scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the scanned image of the last page that was fed has been stored, and then resume the scanning operation. • Note that documents that are printed on thin paper may fall out of the document eject tray. • After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray and the document eject tray extension to prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
4. The document is pushed against the document feed slot and is fed into the Chapter 2 scanner. IMPORTANT • When scanning documents that are fastened together, such as invoices, set the edge that is fastened together as the leading edge. • Note that when scanning with nonseparated feed, if you place several documents that are not fastened together on the feed tray at one time, they will be fed together. • In particular, very thin or curled documents will not be fed very well.
4. Scanning Documents There are two methods of scanning documents using the DR-2580C document scanner. You can scan from an application, such as CapturePerfect 3.0, or you can use the Job function, which allows you to scan by pressing the scan buttons on the operation panel, without starting up an application.

Scanning Results Are Not as Expected If there is a problem with the scanning result (e.g., the scanned image is not clear, or the image is striped or dirty), the probable causes are incorrect ISIS/ TWAIN driver settings or a problem with the scanning unit inside the scanner.

Symptoms The scanned image is too dark (or faint).
Symptoms Lines, smudges, or dirt appear on the scanned image. Problem The scanning glass or rollers inside the scanner are dirty. Solution Clean the scanning glass and rollers. If lines still appear on the image even after cleaning the scanning glass and rollers, the scanning glass inside the scanner may be scratched.

Problem The hook is not correctly attached to the DR-2580C. Solution Remove the DR-2580C scanner and then reinstall it correctly.
