5445 / 5460 Loading Documents to Scan
24 User Guide
– We recommend changing the Document handling speed to Delicate in the TWAIN
interface when scanning thin paper of approximately 11 lbs (40 g/m
2
) or thinner.
Additionally, we recommend using the slow paper feeding speed if you are scanning
fragile documents.
Note: The minimum custom item size is 1.9 x 2.13 inches (48 x 54 mm). This means that you
cannot scan business cards size 3.5 x 2 inches in the landscape orientation. You can place them
with the short edge leading into the scanner (portrait orientation) and scan from the TWAIN
interface. Select one of the rotate image options in the TWAIN interface to have the business
cards rotated to the correct orientation in the final scan.
Note that if you attempt to scan business cards in the landscape orientation you will probably
receive a paper jam error.

Documents to Avoid Scanning
The documents in this list can be scanned, but please note that scanning documents of this type
will reduce the life of the scanner. Maintenance will be required more often and replaceable parts
will wear faster. These types of documents will jam more frequently and damage to the original
documents may occur. If you do choose to scan these document types, do not scan large batches.
This type of use is not covered under the scanner warranty and alters replacement parts life
expectancy.
We recommend you limit the amount or completely avoid scanning documents that are in this list.
• Curled, wrinkled or folded documents may cause paper jams or multiple pages being fed
through the scanner at one time.
• Perforated or punched paper that could tear when the separation roller engages.
• Coated paper or photographs where the coating can flake off during scanning and leave
residue in the scanner.
