ATTENTION

HINT

Documents hand-written with a pencil may be smeared during a scan. It is recommended that the Carrier Sheet be used.

If such documents are scanned without using the Carrier Sheet, the rollers of the ScanSnap get dirty and multi-feeding may be caused. In the case where you scan such documents without using Carrier Sheet, clean the rollers as often as possible. For details, refer to "6.2 Cleaning the Scanner Exterior & Stacker" (page 127).

Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the Pad ASSY and/or rollers such as the pick roller. When scanning carbonless paper, keep in mind the following:

-Clean the Pad ASSY and rollers as frequently as possible.

-The service life of the ScanSnap may be shorter than when you use woodfree paper.

The pad and/or rollers of the ScanSnap could be damaged if photographs or sheets of paper affixed to the document come into contact with the pad and/or rollers during scanning.
