Curled  or rolled paper
Coated paper
Torn paper
Onion  skin  or thin  paper
Stapled  or clipped documents
Paper  printed by a thermal transfer printer

NOTE
To  scan documents more accurately
Documents placed  in the  feeder are  scanned while being fed into the  machine. On the  other hand,  documents placed  on  the
platen glass  remain in a fixed position  while they are  scanned. To ensure  more accurate scanning results, placing  documents on
the  platen glass  is  recommended.
