documents correctly according to the type of document to be scanned. Otherwise, documents may not be
scanned correctly.

3/8 inches (1 cm) or more space between the
edges of the Platen and the document.
Important
Large documents (such as A4 photos) that
cannot be placed away from the edges/arrow
of the Platen may be saved as PDF files. To
save in a format other than PDF, scan by
specifying the file format.
Reflective CD/DVD labels may not be
scanned properly.

Place the document face-down on the Platen and
align an upper corner of the document with the
