skew errors or paper jams.
• Carbon paper that will leave residue in the scanner and on the rollers that will transfer to the next

Preparing Documents for Scanning

• Fan the documents to make sure all pages in the stack are separated.
• Bend and then flatten the document stack to make sure the horizontal edges are aligned to help
prevent paper from skewing while being pulled through the scanner.
