Scanning thick paper with Doxie Q

Thick paper (like cardstock) can be fed through either the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or through Doxie’s Direct Feed slot in back.

Scanning thick paper with the ADF

Doxie's ADF can handle up to 5 sheets of regular printing paper. For thicker paper, scan a smaller stack of 3-4 pages. For best results, follow these scanning tips:

1. Only scan stacks of paper that are the same width.
2. Tap your stack of paper on a flat surface to square up the sheets.
3. Load your documents in the paper feeder face down and top first.
4. Always adjust the paper guides to fit your paper and make sure your paper is under the guide’s tabs.
5. Tap the Scan button when you’re ready to scan.
6. If your sheets don't feed when you press Scan, lightly tap the top of the stack to push sheets down a bit further.

Scanning thick paper with the direct feed slot

For best Direct Feed results, hold and support both sides of the paper until Doxie grabs it.

1. Close Doxie’s top cover.
