Confirm that the image data scanned with the ScanSnap meets your requirements (for
example, image reproducibility in size accuracy, fidelity, content, colors).
Text Recognition
zDepending on the status of the document (e.g. font, layout, blots) and the scanning res-
olution, text recognition may not be properly performed, or text recognition may take a
long time.
zWhen there are sections marked with a highlight pen, the color of the marked section
may not be accurately reproduced depending on the color and density, or may result in
a different color tone from the original. Depending on the color and the color density of
the highlight pen and the way it was used, the marked sections may not be detected, or
the keyword may not be properly set.
Disposing of the original document
Check the image data using the application where you transferred the image data to make
sure that there are no missing parts before disposing of the original document scanned with
the ScanSnap.

the magnetic part of the ADF top section. Otherwise, the data on the card may be lost.
ATTENTION
z The following types of documents must not be scanned:
-Documents attached with the metals such as paper clips or staples that can damage the inside of
the ScanSnap (remove the metals for scanning)
-Documents on which the ink is still wet (wait until the ink dries completely to scan these
documents)
-Documents other than paper such as fabric, metal foil and OHP film
z Be aware that picture side of postcards may get damaged when you scan picture postcards.
z When you scan plastic cards, in [Multifeed Detection] of the [Paper] tab of the ScanSnap setup
window, select [None] or [Check Length].
52
Documents for Scanning
z Be careful of the following when you scan plastic cards.
-Cards that are bent may not be fed properly.
-If the surface of the card is dirty with grease marks (e.g. fingerprints) and such, perform scanning
after wiping the dirt off.
-When you scan plastic cards with strong luster, some parts of the image may appear lighter or
darker than the original.
e.g. gold colored credit card
-When you scan embossed cards, put the embossed side down, and insert the card in landscape
orientation.
-If the background color of the card and the color of the embossed characters are similar (e.g. no
gold or silver embossing), it may be difficult for the ScanSnap to recognize embossed characters.
In that case, click the [Option] button in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap setup dialog box, and

Documents for Scanning
Documents for Which the Carrier Sheet is Recommended for
Scanning
It is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan the following documents.
zDocuments written in pencil
Because there may be black traces left on the documents, it is recommended that you
use the Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.
Clean the rollers occasionally when you scan such documents directly without using a
Carrier Sheet because dirt accumulating on the rollers may cause feeding errors.
For details about how to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, refer to "Cleaning the Inside
of the ScanSnap" (page 436).
zCarbonless paper
Because carbonless paper may contain chemicals that can harm the ScanSnap internal
rollers, it is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.
Make sure to clean the rollers occasionally to maintain the scanner performance when
scanning carbonless paper directly without using the Carrier Sheet. Depending on the
type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened compared to
scanning standard office paper.
For details about how to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, refer to "Cleaning the Inside
of the ScanSnap" (page 436).
zScanning the following types of documents without using the Carrier Sheet can result in
-Documents whose paper weight is less than 40 g/m² (10.7 lb)
-Documents of non-uniform thickness (e.g. envelopes and paper sheets with attached
materials)
-Wrinkled or curled documents
-Folded or torn documents
-Tracing paper
-Coated paper
-Photographs (photographic paper)
-Perforated or punched documents
-Odd shaped documents (not square or rectangular)
-Carbon paper or thermal paper
-Documents with memo papers or sticky notes attached
55
Documents for Scanning
ATTENTION
z Using the Carrier Sheet
Be careful of the following when you use the Carrier Sheet:
-Do not stain, or cut the end with a black & white pattern because the Carrier Sheet will not be
recognized properly.
-Do not place the Carrier Sheet upside down. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur and damage the
Carrier Sheet and the document inside.
-Do not fold or pull the Carrier Sheet.
-Paper jams may occur when several small size documents such as photographs and postcards
are placed inside the Carrier Sheet to be scanned at once. It is recommended that you scan such
documents one at a time.
-If paper jams occur frequently, feed about 50 sheets of PPC paper (recycled paper) before
scanning with the Carrier Sheet. The PPC paper can either be blank or printed.
z Storing the Carrier Sheet
Be careful of the following when you store the Carrier Sheet:
-Do not leave your document inside the Carrier Sheet for a long time. Otherwise, the ink on the
document may be transferred onto the Carrier Sheet.
-To avoid deformation, do not use or leave the Carrier Sheet in high temperature places such as
under direct sunlight or near a heating apparatus for a long time.
-To avoid deformation, store the Carrier Sheet on a flat surface without any weight on it.
