Chapter 6 6 ADF AND PAPER SPECIFICATION This chapter describes the required document size and paper quality for ensuring correct operation when scanning documents on the ADF. 6.1 Document Size.................................................................................................. 86 6.2 Document Quality............................................................................................. 87 6.3 Maximum Document Loading Capacity .........................................................
6.1 Document Size The following shows the size of documents that can be scanned on the ADF. A Feeding Direction B Maximum A 216 (8.5 in) Minimum B 356 (14 in) A 53 (2.1 in) B 74 (2.
6.2 Document Quality 6.2 Document Quality ■ Document Type 6 The following paper types are recommended for document use: When using documents of paper type other than the above, check whether or not the document can be scanned by test-scanning a few sheets before executing the actual document. ■ Document Thickness Paper thickness is expressed by "paper weight.
• When scanning semi-transparent documents, set the density to light to HINT avoid bleed through. • To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents containing large areas written or filled in pencil. If scanning of such documents is unavoidable, clean the rollers frequently. • Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the ATTENTION HINT Pad ASSY or rollers (e.g. Pick roller) when documents are fed.
6.3 Maximum Document Loading Capacity 6.3 Maximum Document Loading Capacity The maximum number of sheets that can be loaded on the ADF paper chute is determined by the size and weight of the document. The following graph shows the maximum document loading capacity of ADF according to paper weight.
6.4 Area not to be perforated Document trouble might occur if there are punched holes in the shaded area in the following figure.
6.5 Double-feed Detection Conditions 6.5 Double-feed Detection Conditions There are three double-feed detection modes: document thickness, document length, and both document thickness and length. The following conditions must be satisfied in each of these detection modes. ■ Detection by Document Thickness ■ Detection by Document Length Sheets of the same length shall be set in the ADF at a time.
HINT The type of document and document conditions sometimes cause the double-feed detection rate to drop.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS A4 size A standard paper size. Paper size is 210 x 297 mm. A5 size A standard paper size. Paper size is 148 x 210 mm. A6 size A standard paper size. Paper size is 105 x 148 mm. A7 size A standard paper size. Paper size is 74 x 105 mm. A8 size A standard paper size. Paper size is 53 x 74 mm. ASCII The acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Dither Technique for producing halftone images by representing the entire grayscale with only two pixel levels, black and white. Double feed detection A scanner function which detects the accidental feeding of multiple sheets by the ADF unit. Can be turned on or off by the operator. Double Letter Size A standard paper size used in the U.S.A. and other countries. Paper size is 11 x 17 inches. dpi Dots per inch. Dropout color A color which is used in the document but does not appear in the read image.
Filtering A correction method that improves the read quality of handwritten documents. The read quality of images written in pencil or ball-pointed pen depends on the reflective light characteristics of the specific ink or lead used. Dropped pixels may produce outlines, gaps, or thin, barely connected lines due to uneven optical density. Filtering detects areas lighter than their surroundings and increases their density to improve image clarity.
IRAS Initialization of the hardware. Landscape orientation A document is transported and read with the long side vertical to the moving direction. Letter size A standard paper size used in the U.S.A. and other countries. Paper size is 8-1/2 x 11 inches. Linedrawing mode Selecting linedrawing mode makes threshold and contrast settings effective but prevents brightness from being set. The specified threshold value determines whether black or white pixels are scanned.
Outline extraction The boundary between black and white areas is traced and the outline extracted for closed areas. PAPER JAM A warning informing the user that document is jammed in the transport unit, or that transportation is disabled because the transport unit is slippery. This warning also appears when a double feed is detected. Photograph mode (White level follower OFF) Selecting photograph mode makes brightness and contrast settings effective but prevents the threshold from being set.
Smoothing A process that eliminates "jaggies" from slanted lines and curves. Irregular convexities are deleted and irregular concavities filled in. This is useful in OCR applications, for example. Temporary Error An error correctable by the operator. Time-out limit This is the time the scanner waits for next document insertion after the last document feeding. The scanner returns Paper Empty when no document is set after time-out limit.
