Document Feeding and Scanning This chapter describes precautions regarding documents that can be handled on this scanner and scanning operations. • Scanning documents with a rough surface may not feed easily, and may cause friction between the documents, resulting in a feeding error. If this happens, feed the documents one by one. • To avoid paper jams, damage to documents, and a scanner malfunction, do not feed the following types of paper into the scanner.
Envelope • Additional documents can be placed while the machine is scanning. You can also scan the envelope. When using separation OFF mode, you can scan an envelope with thickness up to 0.02" (0.5 mm) or weight up to 111 lb bond (413 g/m2). NOTE • Disable the double feed detection function. (See “Using Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection,” on p. 33 in Instructions.) • If the envelope is not the first document in the batch, it may cause a feeding error or a paper jam.
3 Document Feeding and Scanning This section describes how to load and scan documents. (CR-190i only) If the documents are not aligned, press the JOG Button. The jogger mechanism can be used to align documents. CAUTION • Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, long ties, or long hair that could become entangled with moving parts, especially the rollers that feed paper through the scanner. If such objects become entangled, immediately disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
5 • When printing with the imprinter, ink may get on the leading edge of the document because the documents are ejected onto the printed surface. Instruct scanning to start from the software application. NOTE • When Using the Accompanying Scanning Utility for CR-135i/ CR-190i: There are three scanning methods as follows. Follow the each instruction. Scan 1 page Click [Scan Page] from the [File] menu. Scan Batch to File a Click [Scan Batch to File] from the [File] menu.
