Thanks, all!

All,
I'm trying to scan some documentation on "IBM PC" sized 3-hole paper. For
some reason the scanner is prone to pulling multiple sheets through when
doing the reverse sides. Doesn't seem to have this issue when doing the
facing side. I haven't seen this with US letter size paper, either.
Wondering if anyone has any tips for avoiding this?
The scanner is a Umax Astra 2400S w/ Umax sheet feeder.

Most of the older documents I had had both had the toner fuse to ajoining
pages as well as having had the holes drilled in the paper in such a way as
to cause the papers to be held together.
I know for a fact that a lot of my documentation was drilled on a paper drill
after printing from stock that was not originally 3 hole. This causes an
affect with the paper edges around the holds being pushed into a cone if you
will that can bind to the prior page.
only fanning the paper might help, and probably hand feeding each sheet is
the only answer.
When I was scanning for Al with his Ricoh scanners, I had to do the page at a
time trick. I prepared each manual by fanning it, and making sure each page
was free, then just fed each page. Sadly not being able to put in a manual
and go away.
