Replacing parts :
The service life of the Brake Rollers and the Pick Rollers for
scanning "carbonless paper" may be shorter than that for
scanning "wood containing paper."
• The service life of the Brake Rollers and the Pick Rollers for
scanning "wood containing paper" may become shorter
than that for scanning "woodfree paper."

photos or sticky notes on your document have contact with
the Brake Rollers or Pick Rollers during scanning.
