Using The Carrier Sheet - GRAPHTEC CS400 User Manual

4. LOADING A DOCUMENT

4.6 Using the Carrier Sheet

Use the carrier sheet according to the condition of the document to be scanned.
In the case of scanning the following types of media, always place the document in the
carrier sheet before loading it into the scanner.
• To scan a medium that is as limp or limper than a newspaper
• To scan a document that is smaller than A4 size or a document of non-standard size
• To scan a medium that tears easily
• When the target document cannot be properly advanced to the initial position of scanning
(because the target document is folded, wrinkled, or otherwise hard to load in the scanner)
• To scan transparent or translucent documents
• To scan a curled medium
As shown in the figure below, place the document in the carrier sheet with the document's
surface to be scanned facing up (against the transparent top sheet). For scanning, load
the carrier sheet into the scanner with the document's target surface (the transparent top
sheet) facing down.
If you use the carrier sheet when scanning color documents, the colors may shift slightly
in some cases. If this happens, set the document hold-down unit force setting to "High".
When handling the carrier sheet, be very careful not to scratch it or otherwise damage
it.
