 To avoid document jams, do not load the Receipt Carrier Sheet upside down. Refer to the instructions

printed on the Receipt Carrier Sheet itself for more information or see Load Documents on page 34.

 To avoid document jams, do not put several small documents into the Receipt Carrier Sheet at the same

time. Insert only one document into the Receipt Carrier Sheet at a time.

 Do not write on the Receipt Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in a scanned receipt. If the Receipt

Carrier Sheet becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.

 Do not leave any receipt in the Receipt Carrier Sheet for extended periods of time, as the printing on the

receipt may bleed-through onto the Receipt Carrier Sheet.
