Documents for Which the Carrier Sheet is Recommended for
Scanning
It is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan the following documents.
z
Documents written in pencil
Because there may be black traces left on the documents, it is recommended that you
use the Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.
Clean the rollers occasionally when you scan such documents directly without using a
Carrier Sheet because dirt accumulating on the rollers may cause feeding errors.
For details about how to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, refer to

z
Carbonless paper
Because carbonless paper may contain chemicals that can harm the ScanSnap internal
rollers, it is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.
Make sure to clean the rollers occasionally to maintain the scanner performance when
scanning carbonless paper directly without using the Carrier Sheet. Depending on the
type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened compared to
scanning standard office paper.
