Important:
Carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may damage the rollers inside the scanner. If you scan carbon-
less paper, clean the pickup roller and the separation roller regularly. Also, scanning carbon-less paper may shorten
the life cycle of the rollers faster than scanning plain paper.
Note:
❏ Wrinkled originals may scan better if you smooth out the wrinkles before scanning.
❏ To scan delicate originals or originals that are easily wrinkled, use a Carrier Sheet (sold separately).
❏ To scan originals that are incorrectly detected as double feeds, set the Detect Double Feed (Double Feed Detection Skip
Function) to O on the control panel before you resume scanning, or select O in Detect Double Feed on the Main
Settings tab in the Epson Scan 2 window.
When you are using Epson ScanSmart, you can open the Epson Scan 2 screen by clicking the Settings button > Scanner
Settings tab > Scan Settings.
❏ Labels or stickers must be
rmly
stuck to the originals with no glue protruding. When scanning an original with labels or
stickers that look like they might come
o
easily, use a carrier sheet and scan the original with the scanner in the straight
path position.
❏ Try to atten the curled originals before scanning.
❏ For originals with folds, atten the original so that the height of the fold is 5 mm (0.2 inches) or less before loading it.
