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.
