• If the photos are curled, flatten them until they are curled 0.07"
(2mm) or less, or reduce the number of sheets of paper that are
loaded.
• Photos are more likely to curl in low temperatures. Photos are less
likely to curl if you scan them in an environment whose room
temperature is from 15 to 25 °C with humidity of 40 to 60%.
• Photos may stick together, depending on the thickness and type of
paper used for the photo.
