Precautions

Take note of the following:

  • When using the Carrier Sheet

    • 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.

    • As you keep using the Carrier Sheet, dirt and dust will accumulate on the surface and the inside.

      Clean it regularly because it may cause problems related to scanning or affect the scanned results.

      For details, refer to Cleaning the (Carrier) Sheet.

      If the problem still persists, replace the Carrier Sheet.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Do not place a booklet (such as a passport) in the Carrier Sheet for scanning.

      Doing so may cause a paper jam.

  • When storing the Carrier Sheet

    • 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.

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