Precautions

Take note of the following:

  • Up to three Carrier Sheets can be loaded at once.

  • Depending on the image scanning application, there may be insufficient memory to perform a [Double-page spread] scan using the Carrier Sheet in high resolution.

    In that case, specify a lower resolution and try scanning again.

  • Do not write on, color, stain, or cut the end with a black and white pattern on the Carrier Sheet.

    Otherwise, the Carrier Sheet may not be recognized correctly.

  • Do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down.

    Otherwise, a paper jam may occur and damage the Carrier Sheet and the document inside.

  • Do not leave a document inside the Carrier Sheet for a long time.

    Otherwise, the ink on the document may be transferred onto the Carrier Sheet.

  • Do not leave the Carrier Sheet in high temperature places such as under direct sunlight or near a heating apparatus for a long time.

    Also, do not use the Carrier Sheet in such environments.

    Otherwise, the Carrier Sheet may deform.

  • Do not fold or pull the Carrier Sheet.

  • Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet.

    Doing so may damage or cause the scanner to malfunction.

  • To avoid deformation, keep the Carrier Sheet on a flat surface without any weight on it.

  • Do not slide your finger on the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

    Doing so may cut your finger.

  • If paper jams occur frequently, feed about 50 sheets of PPC paper (recycled paper) before scanning with the Carrier Sheet.

    The PPC paper can either be blank or printed.

  • Paper jams may occur when several small documents (such as photos or postcards) are placed in the Carrier Sheet for scanning.

    It is recommended to place only one document at a time in the Carrier Sheet.
