Recommendations

For sustained high-volume use, feed documents that are within the supported size and thickness ranges and keep the scanner clean and dust-free. Calibrate scanning settings for OCR accuracy—choosing 300–600 DPI depending on text size and the required balance between image quality and file size. Store digital files in organized folders and use PDF/A or searchable PDF formats when long-term archiving is required.
