Placing Originals on the Scanner Glass

You can place originals up to this size on the scanner glass: Letter (8.5 × 11 inches [216 × 279 mm]) or A4 (8.3 × 11.7 inches [210 × 297 mm]).
  1. Open the document cover.


  2. Clean any dust or stains from the scanner glass surface by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
    Note: If there is dust or stains on the glass, the scan area may extend to include the dust or stains.
  3. Do one of the following to place your originals:
    • Single sheet: Place your original facedown on the scanner glass with the top facing into the corner. Slide the original to the edges of the indicated corner about 0.05 inch (1.5 mm) away from the corner mark on the scanner glass as shown.


    • ID card: Place an ID card 0.2 inch (5 mm) away from the corner of the scanner glass as shown.


    • Multiple photos for copying: You can place multiple photos of different sizes on the scanner glass to make separate copies. Make sure your photos are at least 0.2 inch (5 mm) away from each other and from the corner of the scanner glass. You can place photos up to this size: 4 × 6 inches (102 × 152 mm).


    • Multiple photos for scanning: You can place multiple photos of different sizes on the scanner glass and save them separately using Photo Mode in Epson ScanSmart or Epson Scan 2. Make sure your photos are at least 0.6 inch × 0.6 inch (15 × 15 mm) in size, and placed away from each other and the corner mark by at least the distances shown.

      Note: To view multiple scanned photos in Epson Scan 2, select the Thumbnail checkbox in the preview window.
  4. Close the document cover gently to keep your original in place.
    Caution:
    Do not push down on the document cover or scanner glass or you may damage the product.
    Note: When placing bulky originals such as books, prevent external light from shining directly onto the scanner glass.
Remove your originals after scanning. If you leave the originals on the scanner glass for a long time, they may stick to the glass surface.
