Caution: Be careful when loading the following types of originals, or they may be damaged or may not
scan successfully:
• Originals with uneven surfaces, such as embossed documents or letterhead
• Coated paper
• Glossy originals
• Thermal paper
• Ripped, curled, or wrinkled originals
• Originals with tears or fold lines
• Perforated originals
• Originals with labels or stickers
• Carbon-less paper
• Originals that have just been printed
Warning: Carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may damage the rollers inside the
scanner. Make sure you clean the pickup roller and the separation rollers regularly. Scanning carbon-
less paper may reduce the service life of the rollers compared with scanning plain paper.
Note: When attempting to scan these types of originals, note the following:
• When scanning wrinkled originals, smooth out the wrinkles before loading if possible.
• Use the optional carrier sheet to scan originals that are delicate or wrinkled.
• If originals are incorrectly detected as double feeds, set the DFDS Function to Off on the control
panel, or select Off as the Detect Double Feed setting in Epson Scan 2.
• Labels or stickers must be firmly adhered to the scanned original with no exposed glue.
• When scanning an original with labels or stickers that look like they might come off easily, use a carrier
sheet (not included) and scan the original in the straight path position.
• Try to flatten curled originals as much as possible.
• For originals with folds, flatten the original so that the height of the fold is 0.2 inches (5 mm) or less
before loading.
