Documents for Which the Carrier Sheet is Recommended for  
Scanning  
It is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan the following documents.  
l Documents written in pencil  
Because there may be black traces left on the documents, it is recommended that you use the  
Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.  
When you scan such documents directly without using a Carrier Sheet, dirt will accumulate on  
the rollers, which may cause feeding errors. Clean the rollers occasionally.  
For details about how to perform cleaning, refer to "Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap" (page  
112).  
l Carbonless paper  
69  
 
Documents to Scan  
Because carbonless paper may contain chemicals that can harm the ScanSnap internal rollers, it  
is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.  
Make sure to clean the rollers occasionally to maintain the scanner performance when scanning  
carbonless paper directly without using the Carrier Sheet. For details about how to perform  
Depending on the type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened  
compared to scanning office paper.  
l Scanning the following types of documents without using the Carrier Sheet can result in  
documents being damaged or scanned incorrectly  
-
Documents smaller than 25.4 × 25.4 (mm)/1 × 1 (in.) (width × length)  
2
-
-
Documents whose paper weight is less than 52.3 g/m (14 lb)  
Documents with an uneven surface (such as 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  
Documents that are not rectangular or square  
Carbon paper or thermal paper  
Documents with memo papers or sticky notes attached  
ATTENTION  
l Using the Carrier Sheet  
Be careful of the following when you use the Carrier Sheet:  
-
Do not stain, or cut the end with a black & white pattern. Otherwise, the Carrier Sheet will not be  
recognized properly.  
-
Do not place the Carrier Sheet upside down. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur and damage  
the Carrier Sheet and the document inside.  
-
-
Do not fold or pull the Carrier Sheet.  
Paper jams may occur when several small size documents such as photographs and postcards  
are placed inside the Carrier Sheet to be scanned at once. It is recommended that you scan  
such documents one at a time.  
l Storing the Carrier Sheet  
Be careful of the following when you store the Carrier Sheet:  
-
Do not leave your 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 high temperature  
places. The Carrier Sheet may be deformed.  
-
To avoid deformation, store the Carrier Sheet on a flat surface without any weight on it.
