How to use
Place bound items, fragile pages or oversized originals on the flatbed for single-item scans, aligning the document with the platen guides. For multiple loose pages, load the stack into the ADF tray according to the feeder’s capacity and alignment markers. Connect the scanner to your computer using the USB cable, install any required drivers or scanning software provided by the vendor, and select the appropriate scan mode, color settings and resolution before starting the job. Monitor the first pages to confirm alignment and color accuracy, then proceed with batch scanning or individual captures as needed.
Usage recommendations
Use the flatbed surface for fragile, bound or glossy originals to avoid damage and ensure even illumination. When using the ADF, remove staples or paper clips and fan the stack to prevent misfeeds. Select color mode for materials where color fidelity is important and adjust resolution based on output needs: use higher dpi for archival images and lower dpi for searchable text files to balance quality and file size.
