Important Carrier Sheet tips

To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. For more information, see Loading the Carrier Sheet on page 16.

To avoid document jams, do not put several small documents into the Carrier Sheet at the same time. Insert only one document into the Carrier Sheet at a time.

Do not write on the Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in scanned documents. If the Carrier Sheet becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.

Do not leave documents in the Carrier Sheet for extended periods of time, as the printing on the documents may bleed through onto the Carrier Sheet.

Scanning difficulties

Difficulty Cause Suggestions

My scanner does not turn on.

The supplied Micro USB cable is not connected correctly.

Make sure the Micro USB cable is securely connected to your scanner and computer.

The battery is low. Connect the Micro USB cable to your scanner and computer to charge the battery.

If you charge the scanners battery only a little from empty battery, you cannot use the scanner. Turn off the scanner until the battery is charged fully.

My computer does not recognize the scanner when it is connected via the Micro USB cable.

Causes may vary. Make sure the Micro USB cable is securely connected to your scanner and computer. Remove the Micro USB cable and reconnect the Micro USB cable to your scanner and computer.

My scanned images have black lines running through them, blank spaces, or are of overall bad quality.

This problem occurs if the scanner is not calibrated correctly or if a foreign object, such as a paper clip or ripped paper, is stuck in the scanner.

1. Check the document feeder slot and make sure that the slot is clear. If foreign objects are found, remove them from your scanner.

2. Calibrate your scanner (see Scanner Calibration on page 61).

If scan quality is not improved after you calibrate your scanner:

1. Clean the scanner (see Scanner Maintenance on page 67).

2. Calibrate your scanner again.

My scanned image is missing.

The Document Guides are not adjusted to fit the width of the document.

Adjust the Document Guides to fit the width of the document.
