The documents in this list can be scanned, but please note that scanning documents of this type will reduce the
life of the scanner. Maintenance will be required more often. These types of documents will jam more frequently
and damage to the original documents may occur. If you do choose to scan these document types, do not scan
large batches.
Note:
you can use the carrier sheet provided with the scanner to scan these document types. With the exception
of carbonless copy paper and thermal paper, the carrier sheet will prevent damage to the original document and
the scanner. For carbonless copy paper and thermal paper, the carrier sheet will prevent tears to the original,
however due the nature of these paper types the pressure of the rollers and/or internal temperature of the
scanner may leave streaks on the page. Please see
Using the Carrier Sheet
on page 18.
■
Curled, wrinkled or folded documents may cause paper jams.
■
Coated paper or photographs where the coating can flake off during scanning and leave residue in the
scanner.
■
Extremely smooth, shiny, or highly textured paper may cause the paper feed rollers to slip across the page
and cause the scanner to report a paper jam.
■
Carbonless copy paper may tear while being fed through the scanner and the pressure of the rollers may
leave streaks on the page. The chemical coating on this paper will rub off on the rollers during the scan
process, increasing the frequency of miss-feeds and paper jams.
■
Partially transparent paper such as tracing paper as any images from the opposite side of the page or black
background will appear in the scanned images.
■
Thermal or photosensitive paper.
