Important:
c
Carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may damage the rollers inside the scanner. If you scan carbon-
less paper, clean the pickup roller and the separation roller regularly. Also, scanning carbon-less paper may shorten
the life cycle of the rollers faster than scanning plain paper.
Note:
❏ Wrinkled originals may scan better if you smooth out the wrinkles before scanning.
❏ To scan delicate originals or originals that are easily wrinkled, use a Carrier Sheet (sold separately).
❏ To scan originals that are incorrectly detected as double feeds, select Off in Detect Double Feed on the Main Settings tab
on the Epson Scan 2 screen before scanning.
When you are using Epson ScanSmart, you can open the Epson Scan 2 screen by clicking the Settings button > Scanner
Settings tab > Scan Settings.
❏ Labels or stickers must be firmly stuck to the originals with no glue protruding. When scanning an original with labels or
stickers that look like they might come off easily, use a carrier sheet and scan the original with the scanner in the straight
path position.
❏ Try to flatten the curled originals before scanning.
❏ For originals with folds, flatten the original so that the height of the fold is 5 mm (0.2 inches) or less before loading it.
