Scanning Photographs and Clippings

Using the Carrier Sheet allows you to scan documents that can be damaged quite easily such as photographs, or documents that are difficult to load directly such as newspaper clippings.

Place the document inside the Carrier Sheet.

Open the Carrier Sheet and place the document against the top center of the Carrier Sheet.
Load the Carrier Sheet with the end with the black and white pattern as the leading edge and with the scanning side facing the ADF paper chute (feeder) (face-down).

Secure the Carrier Sheet with the side guides to avoid skewing.
Configure the scan settings in the scanner driver to use the Carrier Sheet.

For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.

ATTENTION

The image is output at the center of the page in the size specified for [Paper Size] in the scanner driver.
When [Automatic] is specified for [Paper Size] in the scanner driver, the most suitable size is selected from standard sizes which can be specified for [Paper Size]. Note that the size of the image may become smaller than the original document depending on the document scanned, or part of the image may appear missing.

Example

When an A5 size image is printed in the center of an A4 size document

→ The image is output in A5 size.

To output the scanned image in the actual size of the document, specify the document size for [Paper size].
