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
l Carbonless paper
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
cleaning, refer to
Depending on the type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened
compared to scanning office paper.

ATTENTION
l Using the Carrier Sheet
Be careful of the following when you use the Carrier Sheet:
- Do not stain, or cut the black and white patterned end of the Carrier Sheet. 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.
- 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.
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.
