Chapter 2 Handling 1. Documents The ScanFront can scan documents in a range of sizes from business cards to Legal/A4. It is possible to feed documents of the following sizes and thicknesses depending on the feeding method used. ❏ Plain Paper • Note that scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy. Size Width: 2" to 8 1/2" (50.8 mm to 216 mm) Length: 2 1/8" to 14" (53.9 mm to 355.
Chapter 2 Handling ❏ Card Size 2.12" × 3.37" (53.9 × 85.5 mm) (Conforming to ISO Standards) Thickness 0.0299" (0.76 mm) and below Insertion orientation Landscape IMPORTANT • Insert cards one at a time. • Be careful when inserting cards to avoid damaging them.
Chapter 2 Handling 2. Preparing the Scanner When placing a document in the scanner, pull out the document eject tray so that it matches the size of the document, and then move the feed selection lever to the appropriate position for the desired feed method (Page Separation ON or OFF) for the document. ❏ Preparing the Document Feed Tray and Eject Tray Hint If the output documents curl in the eject tray when scanning particularly thin documents, remove the eject tray.
Chapter 2 Handling ❏ Feed Selection Lever ❏ USB Port Change the position of the lever to the desired feed method for the document. You can insert a USB memory device to store image files. Page Separation ON Move the lever downward to separate a stack of documents one page at a time in order to continuously feed the documents. Page Separation OFF Move the lever upward to feed a document with multiple pages attached together such as an invoice one page at a time without separating the pages.
Chapter 2 Handling 3. Placing Documents When placing documents into the scanner, place them face down into the tray with the top edge of the document at the bottom of tray. ❏ Placing a Document 3. Place the document face down with its top edge at the bottom of the tray. Follow the procedure below to place a document. 1. Adjust the document guides to be wider than the width of the document. 4. Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. 2.
Chapter 2 Handling IMPORTANT IMPORTANT Make sure that document stacks placed in the feed tray do not exceed the document guides. • When folding the document, align the right and left sides and create a sharp, straight fold. Otherwise the document may jam or the image may not be aligned properly. • The fold line itself will not be scanned. Keep this in mind if there is content such as photos, diagrams, or text that spans the fold. • For Folio scanning, only the Page Separation OFF mode can be used.
Chapter 2 Handling ❏ Placing a Card CAUTION When you want to scan a card, follow the procedure below to place the card. • A card placed into the document feed tray in the portrait orientation may not be output properly because a load is placed on it during feeding. Furthermore, removing a card that has caused a feeding error may damage the card, so make sure to correctly insert the card. • Pull the lock lever and open the panel unit before removing a placed card.
Chapter 2 Handling 4. Clearing a Paper Jam or Double Feed Error When a paper jam or double feed error is detected, feeding and scanning stops. 1. Check the displayed message.

Chapter 2 Handling 4. Pull out the jammed document in the direction that IMPORTANT seems the easiest to remove it. When the message above is displayed and the scanner transitions to Low Power Mode, all of the data scanned up until that point is discarded. (See “Low Power Mode” on p. 6-31.) 2. Remove the scanned documents from the document eject tray, and any documents remaining in the document feed tray. 3. Pull the lock lever toward you and then fully open the panel unit. 5.
Chapter 2 Handling 5. Fingerprint Sensor (ScanFront 300P) The ScanFront 300P is equipped with a fingerprint sensor for registering fingerprints and authenticating users. The fingerprint sensor is a precision component. Be careful when handling this sensor. ❏ Cautions for Handling the Fingerprint Sensor ● Do not use a pointed object to remove any dirt that accumulates around the fingerprint sensor. Doing so may cause the fingerprint sensor to malfunction.
Chapter 2 Handling ❏ Fingerprint Authentication ● Authentication performance may improve if the condition of the fingerprint is improved as a result of washing your hands or applying hand cream. ● Authentication may not be performed properly depending on the speed with which you slide your finger over the sensor. In this case, adjust the speed with which you slide your finger in accordance with the message that appears.
