Loading a document

IMPORTANT Insert only one page into the scanner at a time. Insert the next page only after the first one is completely

scanned. Inserting more than one page at a time may cause your scanner to malfunction.

DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.

DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, pasted, or taped.

DO NOT try to scan cardboard or fabric.

NOTE Make sure there is enough space behind the paper ejection slot. The scanned document will be ejected

from the rear of the scanner.

Make sure documents that have ink or correction fluid on them are completely dry.

Certain types of plastic cards may be scratched when scanned. To prevent damage to the card, we recommended using the Carrier Sheet. For more information, see Loading the Carrier Sheet on page 10.

a Set your document a face up in the feeder slot b and align the left edge of the page with the left edge of the feeder slot c. To scan a plastic card a, set the card top edge first into the feeder slot b and align the left edge of the card with the left edge of the feeder slot c. For DS-720D: When you perform duplex scanning, insert the first page face up into the feeder slot.

b Slide the document guide d until it touches the right side of the document.

c Gently insert the document until you feel its top edge touch the inside of the scanner.

Important Carrier Sheet tips

To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. For more information, see Loading the Carrier Sheet on page 10.

To avoid document jams, do not put several small documents into the Carrier Sheet at the same time. Insert only one document into the Carrier Sheet at a time.

Do not write on the Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in scanned documents. If the Carrier Sheet becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.

Do not leave documents in the Carrier Sheet for extended periods of time, as the printing on the documents may bleed through onto the Carrier Sheet.

Other difficulties

The file size is too large.

The size of the file will depend upon many factors. The physical size of the document and the amount of text / graphics on each page are factors that will affect the resulting file size. These factors cannot be changed.

To produce the smallest scan file for a given document, use the lowest resolution and Black and White mode, and scan the smallest area possible. Using the opposite settings (scanned in the highest resolution, in the Colour mode, and scanning the largest area possible) will produce the largest-sized file.

For Windows: see Changing DSmobileCapture scan settings (for Windows) on page 15).

For Macintosh: see Changing DSmobileCapture scan settings (for Macintosh) on page 24).

Difficulty Cause Suggestions
