- Do not cover the white sheets on the ScanSnap with your hands or with something else while scanning a document. The color reproducibility of the scanned image will be affected.
- Do not shake the table or desk when the ScanSnap is being used or move the document while it is being scanned. Doing so may distort the scanned image or blur the color.

Make sure that the document is fed into the ScanSnap and is held firmly.
- When you perform a scan with the output guide closed, leave enough space at the back of the ScanSnap to allow the document to be completely ejected. In addition, when you scan a long page document, hold the document that you scanned with your hands to prevent them from falling off the base where the ScanSnap is placed on. Make sure that the area where the document exits the scanner is clear of any obstacles. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur.
Load the document face-down and head-first with the back facing you (when loading multiple documents, the last page is on the top). Adjust the number of documents so that they do not go beyond within the side guides when they are loaded.
Hold each side guide in the middle to adjust them. Otherwise, the document may be fed skewed during scanning.
