Caution:
If a screw is left in
an outer hole while
using the TPU, the
TPU may be
damaged.

Removing the Shipping Screws

To prevent damage during shipping, shipping screws are
attached to the TPU to secure its lamp assembly. You must
remove these screws before using the TPU.

1 Turn the TPU so the glass side faces up.
2 Use a Phillips head (cross head) screwdriver to remove

both shipping screws from the holes labeled CLAMP, as
shown below.

Note:
If you can’t replace
the shipping
screws, the TPU’s
lamp assembly may
not be in its home
position. If this is the
case, reattach the
TPU to the scanner,
close the TPU, and
turn on the scanner.
The lamp assembly
returns to its home
position. Turn off the
scanner, remove the
TPU, and insert the
screws.

3 Install the screws in the storage holes labeled STOCK

between the shipping holes, as shown below.

Before transporting the scanner, turn it off, remove the TPU,
and replace the shipping screws in the outer shipping holes
labeled CLAMP. The transportation lock screw on the scanner
must also be locked before transporting the scanner (see the
scanner’s

Setup Guide).

Installing the Transparency Unit

Follow the steps below to install the TPU:
1 Make sure the scanner is turned off. Then unplug the

power cable from the scanner.

2 Remove the document cover by grasping it beside the

hinges and lifting it straight up.

3 Align the TPU hinge pins with the holes in the scanner,

then lower the TPU until the pins rest securely in the holes.

4 Close the TPU.

Caution:
Do not put heavy
objects on the
TPU—doing so may
damage the TPU.

5 Attach the TPU connector to the option connector at the

back of the scanner. Secure the connector using the
attached screws.

6 Plug the scanner back in and turn it on.

Installing the Transparency Guide

Follow the steps below to install the transparency guide:

1 Lift the TPU.
2 If your scanner doesn’t already have a guide pin and

adjust pin installed as shown below, insert the guide pin
and adjust pin that came with the TPU. Make sure the
adjust pin’s arrow faces the guide pin.
