Types of Originals that Must Not be Scanned

The following types of originals must not be scanned.

  • Photos

  • Booklets

  • Passports that are thicker than 5 mm due to visas or supplementary visa pages being stuck inside the passport.

  • Non-paper originals (such as clear files, fabric, and metal foil)

  • Originals with staples or paper clips

  • Originals with glue attached

  • Ripped originals

  • Heavily wrinkled or curled originals

  • Transparent originals such as OHP film

  • Originals with carbon paper on the back

  • Originals with wet ink

  • Originals with sticky notes attached

Note:
  • Do not feed valuable photos, artwork, or important documents, which you do not want to damage or deface, into the scanner directly. Misfeeding may wrinkle or damage the original. When scanning such originals, make sure you use a Carrier Sheet (sold separately).

  • Ripped, wrinkled, or curled originals can also be scanned if you use a Carrier Sheet (sold separately).

  • For thick passports and passports with a slightly expanded binding edge, scan using the Passport Carrier Sheet (sold separately).
