How to fan documents

Below are instructions for fanning document pages:

  1. Take a stack of documents with thickness of 15 mm to 20 mm (1/2 to 3/4 inches).
  2. Hold both ends and bend the documents into an arch.

    Recommended document thickness: for A4, Letter size or smaller: 20 mm; for sheets larger than A4 or Letter: 10 mm or less.
