Paper loading
Place the document to be scanned face down on the scanning glass.
Books, magazines and other 3-dimensional objects can be easily
scanned as well, by laying them on the scanning glass. With bound
materials and other objects, the cover is designed to lift up at the
hinge to accommodate the item being scanned. Do not force the cover
down when scanning these items, it may break or scratch the glass.
Paper size
The scanner will handle documents ranging in size from that of a postage
stamp to a letter size document (8.5" x 11”), and A4 (8.5” x 11.7”).
Paper condition
If the sheet to be scanned has any of the following conditions, please
take the following precautions before inserting.
• Remove paper clips, pins or staples
• Let wet paper dry first
• Avoid scanning documents with correction fluid (dry or otherwise)
This avoids scratching or marring the scanning glass, and ensures
years of beautiful scans.
Software controls
The Info Technician loads a TWAIN-compliant driver. This driver
functions as a “user interface” linking the scanning hardware and
application software.
Scanning is initiated from within the application software. All scanning
activities are controlled from the user interface window titled Flatbed
Scanner. The Flatbed Scanner window’s Pre-scan command is used
to preview the image in order to adjust the scanning area, contrast,
and intensity before executing the actual “working” scan. The actual
scan is then placed into the application software for viewing, editing,
printing, or storage. In this section, the components and controls of
the Flatbed Scanner window are explained.
