Load only the first page of your documents into the input tray with the printed side facing down and the top edge facing into the feeder.

You will load only the first page of your documents, preview it in your scanner software, and load it again with the rest of your pages.
Align the edges of the document; otherwise a paper jam may occur.
Slide the edge guides over to fit the edge of the paper.
