  1 For thin originals, extending the input and output tray paper supports is recommended

  Warning: Do not load the following types of originals directly in the scanner, or they may be damaged or may damage the scanner:

  • Photos
  • Booklets or passports that are thicker than 0.19 inches (5 mm) when closed
  • Fabric or other non-paper originals
  • Originals containing staples or paper clips
  • Originals with wet ink or glue
  • Ripped originals
  • Heavily wrinkled or curled originals
  • Transparencies
  • Originals with carbon paper backing
  • Originals with attached sticky notes

  You can scan ripped, wrinkled, or curled originals using a carrier sheet (not included).

  Do not feed valuable artwork or important documents into the scanner directly. Misfeeding may wrinkle or damage the original. When scanning these types of originals, use an optional carrier sheet.

  When scanning passports, use a passport carrier sheet.

  Caution:
  Be careful when loading the following types of originals, or they may be damaged or may not scan successfully:Originals with uneven surfaces, such as embossed documents or letterhead Coated paper Glossy originals Thermal paper Ripped, curled, or wrinkled originals Originals with tears or fold linesPerforated originalsOriginals with labels or stickersCarbon-less paperOriginals that have just been printed

  Warning: Carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may damage the rollers inside the scanner. Make sure you clean the pickup roller and the separation rollers regularly. Scanning carbon-less paper may reduce the service life of the rollers compared with scanning plain paper.

  Note: When attempting to scan these types of originals, note the following:

  • When scanning wrinkled originals, smooth out the wrinkles before loading if possible.
  • Use the optional carrier sheet to scan originals that are delicate or wrinkled.
  • If originals are incorrectly detected as double feeds, select Off as the Detect Double Feed setting in Epson Scan 2.

    Note: When 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 firmly adhered to the scanned original with no exposed glue.
  • When scanning an original with labels or stickers that look like they might come off easily, use a carrier sheet (not included) and scan the original in the straight path position.
  • Try to flatten curled originals as much as possible.
  • For originals with folds, flatten the original so that the height of the fold is 0.2 inches (5 mm) or less before loading.
