Placing Documents or Photos

Before scanning a document, remember to respect the rights of copyright owners. Do not scan published text or images without first checking their copyright status.


Caution:

Do not place heavy objects on the document table glass and do not press the glass with too much force.

Make sure that the paper support is opened, and then open the document cover.

Place your document or photo on the document table, face down on the glass. Make sure the top of the document or photo is against the bottom right corner of the document table.


Note:
  • An area 3 mm (0.12 inches) from the horizontal and the vertical sides of the scanner glass cannot be scanned. If you place a document in the corner of the document table, move it up and in slightly to avoid cropping.

  • If you are scanning multiple photos at once, position each photo at least 20 mm (0.8 inches) apart from the others.

Close the document cover gently so that your original does not move.


Note:
  • Always keep the document table clean.

  • Do not leave photos on the document table for an extended period of time as they may stick to the glass.
