Precautions

Take note of the following:

zUp to three Carrier Sheets can be loaded at once.

zDepending on the amount of memory used by running applications, there may be insufficient memory to scan a double-page spread document with the Carrier Sheet in high resolution. In that case, specify a lower resolution and try scanning again.

zDo not write on, color, stain, or cut the end with a black and white pattern on the Carrier Sheet.

zDo not place the Carrier Sheet upside down. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur and damage the Carrier Sheet and the document inside.

zDo 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.

zTo avoid deformation, do not use or leave the Carrier Sheet in high temperature places such as under direct sunlight or near a heating apparatus for a long time.

zDo not fold or pull the Carrier Sheet.

zDo not use a damaged Carrier Sheet because it may damage or cause the scanner to malfunction.

zTo avoid deformation, keep the Carrier Sheet on a flat surface without any weight on it.

zBe careful not to cut your finger on the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

zIf 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.

zPaper jams may occur when you place several small documents (e.g. photos, postcards) in the Carrier Sheet for scanning. It is recommended to place only one document at a time in the Carrier Sheet.
