4. Close the document cover gently so that the aligned
document is not moved.
Note:
Make sure that the document is flat against the glass surface so
that the image is properly focused. Also make sure to close the
document cover. This prevents interference from external light.
Always keep the document table clean. See “Maintenance” later
in this chapter for information on cleaning
the
scanner.
Avoid twisting the document cover when you open or close it.
Do not leave photographs on the document table for an extended
period of time; they may stick to the glass.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the scanner.
5. Start the scanner software on the computer, and follow its
procedures to scan the image.
