• Documents hand-written with a pencil may be smeared during a scan. It is recommended
that you use the Carrier Sheet. If you scan such documents without using the Carrier Sheet,
clean the rollers as often as possible. If not, the rollers of the ScanSnap get dirty and multi-
feeding may be caused.
For details about how to clean rollers, refer to "Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap" (page
327).
• Do not scan the following types of documents:
- Documents with paper clips or staples (remove clips and staples to scan these docu-
ments)
- Documents with wet ink (scan documents after the ink dries)

- Materials other than paper such as the fabric, metal foil, transparency, or plastic card

documents being damaged or scanned incorrectly: It is recommended that you use the Car-
rier Sheet.

• Carbonless paper may contain chemicals that can damage the pad assembly or rollers.
For best use of your ScanSnap, when scanning carbonless paper, note the following.
- It is recommended to scan with a Carrier Sheet
- Multiple sheets of carbonless paper can be directly scanned. However, to preserve the
efficiency of the scanner, make sure to clean it regularly. According to the type of carbon-
less paper, the life span of the scanner may become shorter when compared to scanners
used to scan only general office paper.
