Receipt Carrier Sheet Recommendations
- Use the Receipt Carrier Sheet for a receipt only.
- Use the BR-Receipts application when using the Receipt Carrier Sheet.
- You can fold the receipt in two places so that it overlaps and then insert it into the Receipt Carrier Sheet if the receipt is longer than the Receipt Carrier Sheet.
- 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.
- 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.
