You can scan ripped, wrinkled, or curled originals using a carrier sheet (not included).
Do not feed valuable artwork or important documents into the scanner directly. Misfeeding may wrinkle or damage the original. When scanning these types of originals, use an optional carrier sheet.
For thick passports and passports with a slightly expanded binding edge, use a passport carrier sheet (DS-C490).
- Originals with uneven surfaces, such as embossed documents or letterhead
- Coated paper
- Glossy originals
- Thermal paper
- Ripped, curled, or wrinkled originals
- Originals with tears or fold lines
- Perforated originals
- Originals with labels or stickers
- Carbon-less paper
- Originals that have just been printed
- When scanning wrinkled originals, smooth out the wrinkles before loading if possible.
- Slow down the feeding speed using the
slow mode button
(DS-C490) when scanning wrinkled originals, and smooth out the
wrinkles before loading if possible. - Use the optional carrier sheet to scan originals that are delicate or wrinkled.
- If originals are incorrectly detected as double feeds, select Off as the Detect Double Feed setting in Epson Scan 2.
- Labels or stickers must be firmly adhered to the scanned original with no exposed glue.
- When scanning an original with labels or stickers that look like they might come off easily, use a carrier sheet (not included) and scan the original in the straight path position.
- Try to flatten curled originals as much as possible.
- For originals with folds, flatten the original so that the height of the fold is 0.2 inches (5 mm) or less before loading.
