Note: You can load
originals of different sizes, paper types, and thicknesses up to
this size: Letter (8.5 × 11 inches
[216 × 279 mm]).
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
Note: Lightly
wrinkled paper may scan better if you slow down the feeding speed
during scanning or smooth out the wrinkles before loading. Use a
carrier sheet to scan delicate originals or originals that are
easily wrinkled. To scan originals that are incorrectly detected as
double feeds, select Settings >
Scanner Settings > DFDS Function on the LCD screen and set it to
On to disable the Detect Double Feed setting for the next scan, or
set the Detect Double Feed setting
to Off on the Main Settings tab in
the Epson Scan 2 window.
Caution:
Do not load the following types of originals
directly in the scanner, or they may be damaged or may damage the
scanner:
- Photos
- Originals that are bound
- Passports
- Thermal paper
- 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
- Originals with holes on the bottom of them
- Transparencies
- Originals with carbon paper backing
- Originals with sticky notes attached
- Glossy originals
Note: Photos
scanned using a document scanner may not have the same color depth
as the original. Use a flatbed photo scanner to achieve the best
color reproduction of photos.
