•Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the pad assembly or the pick and other rollers when documents are fed. Pay attention to the following:

Cleaning:

If pick errors occur frequently, clean the pad assembly and pick roller. For details on cleaning the pad assembly and pick roller, refer to "Chapter 5 Scanner Care" (page 209).

Replacing parts:

The service life of the pad assembly and pick roller may be shortened when compared to scanning only wood containing paper documents.

•When wood containing paper manuscripts are scanned, the life of the pad assembly and pick roller may be shortened compared with the case where woodfree paper manuscripts are scanned.

•When scanning photographs, the face of the photograph may become damaged.

•When scanning semi-transparent documents, set the scan [Brightness] to "Light" to avoid image bleed through.

•To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents containing large areas written or filled in with pencil. If scanning of such documents is unavoidable, clean the rollers frequently.

•To operate correctly, the ADF requires the leading edges of all document sheets be evenly aligned. Make sure that curling of the leading edge is within the following tolerances:
