Loading Documents in the ADF

Caution:
Do not feed photographs or valuable original artwork into the ADF. Misfeeding may wrinkle or damage the original. Scan these documents on the document table instead.
Do not load A6 documents in landscape orientation.
Remove any documents from the document table and make sure there is no dust on the glass before loading documents in the ADF.
Slide the edge guides on the input tray of the ADF all the way outward.
Place the first page of your document in the input tray with the printed side facing up and the top edge facing into the feeder. Slide the paper into the feeder until it meets resistance. Then slide the edge guides over to the edge of the paper.
Note:
You will load your first document page, preview it in your scanner software, and load it again with all the rest of your pages.
To start scanning, see Starting Epson Scan for instructions.
