How do I scan thick or special paper?

• You can load one envelope or large, thick, or folded document in the input tray. Make sure the document meets the specifications for special documents before loading it.
  1. Open the scanner cover, pull up the input tray extension, extend the output tray, and open the stopper.
     
     

     Note: If you are loading a document that is 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, do not pull out the input or output tray extensions and do not open the stopper.

  2. Slide the input tray edge guides all the way out.
     
     
  3. Do one of the following to load your original:
     • Load the envelope vertically in the input tray with the printed side facedown and the flap facing as shown. Slide in the envelope until it meets resistance.
       
       
     • For an A4-size or larger original, fold it as shown and place it in the center of the carrier sheet. Make sure the illustration on the front edge of the carrier sheet is facing up.
       
       

       Caution:
       Do not load a folded document with the open side facing down.

     • For a photo or an irregularly shaped original, load it in the center of the carrier sheet with the printed side facedown. Make sure the illustration on the front edge of the carrier sheet is facing up.
       
       
  4. Load the carrier sheet in the input tray as shown until it meets resistance.
