z Documents other than paper such as fabric, metal foil and OHP film.
z Important documents such as certificates and cash vouchers which
must not be damaged
z To scan a document that is semi-transparent, increase the
brightness level to avoid bleed-through.
z To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning
documents that contain large areas filled with pencil lead.
If you have to scan such documents, make sure to perform
cleaning frequently.
A message may appear when you scan a lot of documents
written with pencil. For more details, refer to "8.2 Error
Indications on Operator Panel" (page 145).
z If multifeeds, pick errors, or paper jams occur frequently,
refer to "1.9 Adjusting the Paper Separation Force" (page
26) for troubleshooting.

that curls on the leading edge of the documents are kept
within the following range:

which may harm the rollers (e.g. pick roller), be aware of the
following risks:
Cleaning: If paper jams occur frequently, clean
each roller. For information on how to
clean the rollers, refer to "Chapter 6
Daily Care" (page 121).
Parts replacement: The life of each roller may end sooner
compared to scanning wood containing
papers.
z When scanning wood containing papers, the life of each
roller may end sooner compared to scanning wood-free
papers.
z Rollers may be damaged when a photo/sticky note on the
document contacts the rollers during scanning.
z The surface of the document may be damaged when
scanning gloss papers such as photographs.
