    ATTENTION
    • The pick roller feeds the documents. Load all documents over one another above the pick roller (center). Documents that are not loaded above the pick roller cannot be fed.

      Example: iX1600

    • Adjust the side guides to the widest document. If the side guides are not adjusted properly, a paper jam may occur.
    • Load smaller documents so that they can be scanned straight.

      If the documents are skewed during scanning, the following problems may occur:

      • Part of the document does not appear in the scanned image
      • Slant lines appear in the scanned image
      • The documents are scanned in a wrong paper size

      If the documents are not scanned straight, it is recommended that you select the [Continue scanning after last page] checkbox in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap Setup Window, separate the documents by their widths, and scan them in different batches.
