(See “Using Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection,” on p. 32.
Using Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection Placing Documents The double feed detection function that the scanner is equipped with uses the penetration of ultrasonic waves to detect when two or more documents are fed at the same time. If false detections happen too often, disable the double feed detection function. Note the following points when placing documents on the scanner. • Place the front of the document toward you. • Do not exceed the Load Limit Mark when placing documents in the document tray.
• Additional documents can be placed while the machine is scanning. Document Feeding and Scanning This section describes how to load and scan documents. CAUTION IMPORTANT • Align the documents and set the bottom of the documents level in the document tray. • Do not exceed the Load Limit Mark when placing documents. This may cause double feed error.
Scan Procedure A B Carefully align the edges of the document. Place the first page of the document facing you, and place the leading edge of the document into the scanner. IMPORTANT • If you press the JOG Button when a batch of documents of various sizes are loaded, the alignment will be incomplete, and the documents will not be scanned in the order loaded. If you are scanning documents of various sizes, align the leading edges of all the documents with the entry point of feeding.

For cautions on handling documents, see “Documents,” on p.
Condition A double feed error often occurs. Condition Documents get dirty when using the imprinter. Cause and Remedy A double feed error may occur when documents with different thicknesses are mixed. If you are using the CR-190i scanner, you can align the documents using the jogger. If the above-mentioned method is not effective or you are using the CR-135i scanner, adjust the Separation Roller gap. (See “Adjusting the Separation Roller Gap,” on p. 56.
When the Scanned Image Is Not Normal If there is a problem with the scanned image (the image is not sharp or stripes appear), one of the following conditions may be a probable cause. Check the following conditions, and take the appropriate action. The scanning glass or rollers are dirty. Other Causes Even if the computer may be recognizing the scanner correctly, and the driver and the application is installed correctly, scanning may not be performed correctly.
