Special Original Specifications

You can load photos, envelopes, or large, thick, or folded originals that meet these specifications in your scanner.

Note: Photos scanned using a document scanner may not have the same color depth as the original. Use a flatbed photo scanner with the optional flatbed scanner dock (ES-400 II) to achieve the best color reproduction of photos.

Note: Originals that are wider than 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) need to be folded in half. The leading edge of originals approximately 11.7 inches (297 mm) long must be placed at the binding part of the carrier sheet. Otherwise, the length of the scanned image may be longer than intended as the scanner scans to the end of the carrier sheet when you select Auto Detect as the Document Size setting in the scanning software.
