Setting Up Your Scanner

Unlock and Initialize the Scanner
Before connecting the scanner to a power source, you must release the transportation
lock on the back of the scanner. Before connecting the scanner to your computer,
follow the steps below to make sure the scanner is operating properly.
1. Slide the transportation lock to the right; this releases the scanner carriage.
2. Locate the AC adapter and power
cord supplied with your scanner.
Connect the power cord to the AC
adapter. Then connect the AC
adapter to the DC inlet on the back
of the scanner.
3. Plug the other end of the power
cord into an electrical outlet. The
indicator light on the front of the
scanner starts flashing.
It is not possible to change the AC adapter’s voltage. If the label on the AC
adapter does not show the correct voltage for your country, contact your
dealer. Do not plug in the power cord.
4. Open the document cover so you can see the operation of the scanner during
initialization (startup).
5. Make sure the carriage
moves slightly and the
fluorescent lamp on the
carriage comes on. When
the indicator light stays
green, the scanner has
completed its initialization.
If the scanner does not work as described, make sure the power cord is firmly plugged
in, and then try again.
