Setting Up the Scanner

Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your scanner:

Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. The scanner will not operate properly

if it is tilted at an angle.

Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it

easily.

Place the scanner near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.

Allow space behind the scanner for the cables, and space above the scanner so that

you can fully raise the document cover.

Keep the scanner away from high temperatures, humidity and excessive dirt or

dust. Also avoid using or storing the scanner in places subject to rapid changes of

temperature and humidity.

Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong light sources.

Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

When the scanner is unpacked, the carriage is locked in the home position to prevent

damage from shaking or vibration during transportation. You must release the trans-

portation lock before you can use the scanner.

Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface with its left side facing you.

Turn the transportation lock to the unlocked position using a coin or a similar

object, as shown below.

Note:

Before you transport the scanner or store it for an extended period of time, secure the

carriage by turning the transportation lock back to the locked position. For more

information, see "Maintenance and Troubleshooting" in your Online Reference Guide.
