Page 33: Setting Up The Stacker
2.7 Setting up the Stacker The document set on the hopper, once scanned, will be ejected onto the stacker. You can adjust the inclination of Stacker table to align the leading edge of document or not. Also you can fix the height of Stacker table for thin paper stacking. Set up the Stacker by adjusting the Stacker extension, Stopper, Side Guides and Stacker's inclination.
Page 34 When scanning long pages (longer than A3), the document may be longer than the stacker extension even if it’s pulled to the outermost position. In case HINT like this, place a thick paper about the size of A4 on the stopper and make a slope as depicted below.
Page 35 ■ Changing Stacker inclination/motion The location of the stacker can be switched when ejecting documents by fixing the stacker height in the appropriate position, or by using either the horizontal setting for bottom edge alignment or the tilting for- ward setting for leading edge alignment. The factory default is set to the horizontal setting. When using the tilting forward setting for leading edge alignment, follow the procedure below to switch the position of the stacker.
Page 36 Move your hands away from the stacker slowly.  The stacker will be fixed in a position tilting forward. When set to “Bottom edge” position, the stacker does not move up or down and becomes immovable even during scanning operation. HINT In this position, the stacker’s maximum load will be 200 sheets.
Page 37 Move your hands away from the stacker slowly.  The stacker will be fixed in a horizontal position. When set to the “bottom edge alignment” position, the stacker will automat- ically adjust its height according to its load. HINT When set to the “Bottom edge alignment” position, the stacker’s maximum load will be 500 sheets.
