Placing Irregular Shaped Originals

1. Make sure that the scanner position icon is (straight path position).

   

   If (vertical path position) is displayed, pull the scanner position selector to tilt the scanner back.

   

2. Open the input tray.

   

3. Raise the input tray extension.

   

4. Move the edge guides to the edges of the input tray.

   

5. Place your original in the Carrier Sheet.

   Place your original so that the back of the original is facing the side of the Carrier Sheet with the illustration.

   

6. Turn over the Carrier Sheet.

   

7. Load the Carrier Sheet into the input tray with the top edge facing into the ADF.

   Insert the Carrier Sheet into the ADF until it meets resistance.

   

8. Align the edge guides with the Carrier Sheet so that there are no gaps. Otherwise, the Carrier Sheet may be fed skewed.

   
   Note:

   • If the edge guides are too far apart or too tight, the original may not be fed correctly. The edge guides should be aligned so that they lightly touch the edges of the original.

   • Do not use a scratched Carrier Sheet or a Carrier Sheet that has been scanned more than 3,000 times.

   • If you cannot find a Document Size that matches the original to be scanned, you need to make settings on the Epson Scan 2 screen.

     When you are using Epson ScanSmart, you can open the Epson Scan 2 screen by clicking the Settings button > Scanner Settings tab > Scan Settings.

     Select Auto Detect on the Epson Scan 2 screen, or select Customize to create a custom document size.

   • When scanning with a Carrier Sheet, select Auto Detect as the Document Size setting in Epson Scan 2 to automatically scan the image while applying Paper Skew as the Correct Document Skew setting.

   • Only use a Carrier Sheet designed for your scanner. The Carrier Sheet is automatically recognized by the scanner by detecting two small rectangular holes on the leading edge. Keep the holes in the Carrier Sheet clean and uncovered.
