Before transporting the scanner for a long distance or storing it for an extended period of time, you need to lock the scanner’s carriage and transparency unit to prevent damage.

Plug in the scanner, connect it to your computer, turn on the scanner using its power button, and wait until the lights stop flashing.

When the Ready light is green, turn off the scanner using its power button.

On the side of the scanner, slide the transportation lock to the locked position to secure the scanner carriage.

Attach the protective materials, then repack the scanner in its original box or a similar box that fits the scanner snugly.
