ATTENTION
•
Documents written or filled with a pencil may be smeared during a scan. It is
recommended to use Carrier Sheet. If such documents are scanned without
using Carrier Sheet, the rollers get dirty and the paper may not be fed properly.
In the case where you scan such documents without using Carrier Sheet,
clean the rollers as often as possible. For details refer to "6.2 Cleaning the
Scanner Exterior" (page 147).
•
Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may harm the Pad ASSY
or rollers (e.g. Pick roller) when documents are fed. Pay attention to the follow-
ing:
- Clean the Pad ASSY or rollers as frequently as possible.
- The service life of the scanner may be shortened compared with the case of
scanning woodfree paper.
