Types of Originals that Require Attention

The following types of originals may not be successfully scanned.

  • Originals with an uneven surface such as letter head paper

  • Originals with wrinkles or fold lines

  • Perforated originals

  • Original with labels or stickers

  • Carbon-less paper

  • Curled originals

  • Coated paper

Note:
  • Because carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may harm the rollers, if paper jams occur frequently, clean the pickup roller and the separation roller.

  • Wrinkled originals may scan better if you slow down the feeding speed during scanning or smooth out the wrinkles before loading.

  • To scan delicate originals or originals that are easily wrinkled, use the Carrier Sheet (sold separately).

  • To scan originals that are incorrectly detected as double feeds, press the (Double Feed Detection Skip) button before scanning or select Off in Detect Double Feed on the Main Settings tab in Epson Scan 2 window.

    When you are using Document Capture Pro, you can open the Epson Scan 2 window by pressing the Detailed Settings button on the Scan Settings screen.

  • Labels or stickers must be firmly stuck to the originals with no glue protruding.

  • Try to flatten the curled originals before scanning.
