They will bemuch easier to handle if they have been stored flat for at least 8 hours.The longer that documents have been stored flat, the easier it will be toscan them.• After being scanned and sent to the rear of the Scanner, rolled-updocuments may not stack reliably in the Document Catcher Assembly.• If possible, sort the documents you are going to scan according to theseguidelines:− First, group the documents by media type, e.g. blueprint, pencil,sepia and so forth. By scanning groups of documents that are thesame type, you will minimize the number of control changes youmake with the Image Quality controls.− Next, divide the documents in each media type group into “good”and “bad” piles based on your evaluation of their foreground andbackground quality (see the guidelines above). That way you canscan the good quality documents first, then focus on the bad qualityones, which will require more attention.− Finally, sort the documents by size. When using preset or customformat sizes, the number of control changes is minimized.
