Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
7. Scanning Documents
Documents can be scanned in various ways by the IRIScan Pro 5:
You can scan stacks of up to 20 documents in the Document Feeder.
You can load documents one by one in the Front Feed Tray.
You can load documents one by one in the Rear Feed tray.
7.1 Using the Automatic Document Feeder
Important: to avoid occasional paper jams, please fan your documents and align the top edges before
feeding them into the scanner.
Hold both ends of the documents and fan them a few times.
Rotate the documents by 90 degrees and fan them in the same manner.
Align the edges of the documents in a step-like pattern as indicated below.
Important: the document feeder of the IRIScan Pro 5 is L-shaped, meaning your documents will be bent
going through the feeder.
If you need to scan documents that must not be bent, such as ID cards or credit cards for instance, use the
Front or Reard Feed Tray.
9
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
Loading Documents in the Document Feeder
1. Unfold the document feeder and its extension.
2. Adjust the paper guide to hold your documents.
3. Load the stack of documents, top edge first and text facing up.
4. Verify that the paper guides are aligned with the edges of the stack.
5. Verify that the front feed tray is closed.
6. Press the Scan button to start scanning.
10
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
Tip for loading stacks of documents of various sizes and weights
When scanning a batch of documents with different sizes and weights, be sure to follow these guidelines to
avoid a skewed image or a paper jam:
1. Align the documents top edge first and arrange the pages from large to small.
2. If two pages are of the same size but of different weight, arrange these pages from heavy to light.
3. Align the edges of the documents by tapping the bottom of the stack against a table top.
4. Center these pages in the document feeder and make sure that the edges of the largest page
slightly touch the Paper Guides.
11
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
What to do in case of a Multi-Feed
Even if you have fanned your documents properly it is still possible that a Multi-Feed occurs. A Multi-Feed is
when two or more pages accidentally go through the feeder at the same time.
By default, the IRIScan Pro 5 detects when a Multi-Feed occurs and on which page, and activates an error
sound effect.
This way you know which page needs to be scanned again.
If you want the scanner to stop scanning next time a Multi-Feed occurs, go to the Multi-Feed Detection
tab in the Scanner Properties window and select Stop Scanning after Multi-Feed. This way you need
to rescan all the documents you tried to scan.
7.2 Using the Front Feed Tray
Attention: the Front Feed Tray scans one page at a time. Do not insert multiple pages.
1. Open the cover of the front feed tray.
2. Use the paper size marks to center your single-page document.
3. Load your document into the front feed tray, top edge first and text facing up.
The scanner automatically grabs and secures the document.
4. Press the Scan button to start scanning.
12
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
7.3 Using the Rear Feed Tray
Attention: the Rear Feed Tray scans one page at a time. Do not insert multiple pages.
1. Use the paper size marks to center your single-page document.
2. Load your document into the rear feed tray, top edge first and text facing up.
3. Gently push the document into the feed tray as indicated.
The rear feed tray does not automatically grab and secure the document.
4. Press the Scan button to start scanning.
7.4 Ejecting Documents from the Opposite Tray
If you are feeding paper from the front or rear feed tray, the scanner provides two eject paths: documents
are by default ejected from the same side of the feed tray, but they can also be ejected from the opposite
side.
To eject documents from the opposite tray:
Go to the Setting tab in the Scanner Properties window.
Select Eject Paper Opposite.
13
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
8. Maintenance
8.1 Clean the Scanner Glass, Separation Pad and Rollers
If the scanned images contain streaks or scanned documents become dirty, the scanning glass, the
separation pad and the roller inside the scanner are likely to be dirty. Clean them periodically.
Use only the recommended or supplied tool to clean the scanner and feeder dock.
Cleaning steps:
1. Open the feed tray.
2. Press the ADF Release button to open the feeder cover.
3. Wipe the separation pad, rollers and the glass with the cleaning cloth.
Note:
Adding some isopropyl alcohol (95%) on the cleaning cloth is more efficient when cleaning the
rollers.
Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquid (i.e., alcohol, kerosene, etc.) to clean any part of the
scanner, otherwise the plastic material will be permanently damaged.
14
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
8.2 Replace the Feed Roller
The feed roller and separation pad inside the scanner wear with scanning. If the feed roller and separation
pad are worn, documents may not feed correctly and paper jams may occur. When document feed
performance deteriorates, replace the feed roller and separation pad.
It is recommended to replace the feed roller or separation pad when the total number of pages of
documents fed in the scanner exceeds one of the following quantities:
Feed Roller: 100,000 sheets
Separation Pad: 30,000 sheets
To replace the Feed Roller:
1. Open the feed tray.
2. Press the ADF Release button to open the feeder cover.
3. Open the roller cover.
4. Slide the feed rollers to the left as indicated below.

17
Quick User Guide – IRIScanTM Pro 5
Question:
When I choose 600 dpi as optical resolution, why are the "auto crop"
and "deskew" functions disabled?
Answer:
Since performing auto crop and deskew consumes great deal of system
memory, it is recommended to select an optical resolution below 600 dpi to
prevent errors.
