    Specifications for Multiple Sizes

    You can load a mixture of originals from 2.0 × 2.0 in. (50.8×50.8 mm) to Letter- or A4-size. You can also load a mixture of paper types or thicknesses.

    You can improve the alignment of ejected originals by using the optional (DS-800WN) or supplied (DS-900WN) paper alignment plate.

    Note: When loading originals that are a mixture of different types and sizes, note the following:

    • Originals of different sizes may be fed askew if not all of the originals are supported by edge guides
    • Originals may jam or be fed askew if the types and sizes of the originals vary too greatly (such as thick paper and thin paper or Letter/A4-size paper and business cards)

    If paper jams or misfeeds occur, enabling Slow mode or loading the originals one-by-one using Automatic Feeding Mode may solve the problem.

    Types of Originals that Require Attention

    The following types of originals may not be successfully scanned or may require special attention:

    • Originals with uneven surfaces, such as embossed documents or letterhead
    • Originals with wrinkles or fold lines
    • Perforated originals
    • Originals with labels or stickers
    • Carbonless paper
    • Curled originals
    • Coated paper

    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:

    • Lightly wrinkled paper may scan better if you slow down the feeding speed during scanning or smooth out the wrinkles before loading.
    • Try to flatten curled originals as much as possible.
    • 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.
    • If originals are incorrectly detected as double feeds, set the DFDS Function to On on the control panel, or select Off as the Detect Double Feed setting in Epson Scan 2.
    • 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).
    • For originals with folds, flatten the original so that the height of the fold is 0.2 inches (5 mm) or less before loading.
    Warning: Do not load the following types of originals directly in the product, or they may be damaged or may damage the product:
    • Photos (without a carrier sheet)
    • Booklets or passports
    • 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
