Documents for Scanning

Picture postcards
Picture postcards can be scanned when the ScanSnap and the computer are connected
with a power cable.
Loading the following types of documents directly in the ScanSnap can result in documents being
damaged or scanned incorrectly:
-
Documents smaller than 50.8 × 50.8 (mm) / 2 × 2 (in.) (width × length)
-
Documents whose paper weight is less than 64 g/m² (17 lb)
-
Documents of non-uniform thickness (e.g. envelopes and paper sheets with attached materials)
-
Wrinkled or curled documents
-
Folded or torn documents
-
Tracing paper
-
Coated paper
-
Photographs (photographic paper)
-
Perforated or punched documents
-
Odd shaped documents (not square or rectangular)
-
Carbon paper or thermal paper
-
Documents with memo notes or sticky notes attached
Carbonless paper may contain chemicals that can harm the pad assy or the pick roller. When
scanning carbonless paper, make sure to clean the ScanSnap regularly to maintain performance.
Depending on the type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened compared
to when standard office paper is scanned.
