¹ For thin originals, extending the input and output tray paper supports is recommended

Warning: Do not load the following types of originals directly in the scanner, or they may be damaged or may damage the scanner:

Photos
Booklets or passports that are thicker than 0.19 inches (5 mm) when closed
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
Transparencies
Originals with carbon paper backing
Originals with attached sticky notes

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.

Caution:

Be careful when loading the following types of originals, or they may be damaged or may not scan successfully:

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

Warning: Carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may damage the rollers inside the scanner. Make sure you clean the pickup roller and the separation rollers regularly. Scanning carbon-less paper may reduce the service life of the rollers compared with scanning plain paper.

Note: When attempting to scan these types of originals, note the following:

When scanning wrinkled originals, 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, set the DFDS Function to Off on the control panel, or 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.
