Placing Large or Thick Documents

Before scanning a document, remember to respect the rights of copyright owners. Do not scan published text or images without first checking their copyright status.


Caution:

Do not place heavy objects on the document table glass and do not press the glass with too much force.


Note:

If you want to scan a multiple page document with the Automatic Document Feeder, see Loading Documents in the Automatic Document Feeder instead.

Open the ADF.

Place your document or photo on the document table, face down on the glass. Make sure the top of the document or photo is against the upper left corner of the document table.

If you are scanning multiple documents or photos at once, position each one at least 0.8 inches (20 mm) away from the others.


Note:

If you are scanning large or thick documents, see Placing Large or Thick Documents for instructions.

Close the ADF gently so that your original does not move.


Note:
  • Always keep the document table and the underside of the ADF clean. See Cleaning the Scanner for instructions.

  • Do not leave photos on the document table for an extended period of time as they may stick to the glass.

To scan your document or photo, see Starting a Scan With the Start Button.
