Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall.

Place the product close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily. Do not place or store the product outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

Do not use with wet hands.

Place the product near an electrical outlet where the power cord plug can be easily unplugged.

The power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the cord and do not allow the power cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep the cord straight at the end.

Use only the power cord supplied with the product and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of other cords with this product or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label, and always supply power directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet.

When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the product, or product option by yourself except as specifically explained in the product’s guides.

Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.

If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

Unplug the product and the power cord, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the product; the product or the power cord has been dropped or the case has been damaged; the product or the power cord does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. (Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)

Setting a Resolution That Suits the Scanning Purpose

Advantages and Disadvantages of Increasing the Resolution

Resolution indicates the number of pixels (smallest area of an image) for each inch (25.4 mm), and is measured in dpi (dots per inch). The advantage of increasing the resolution is that the details in the image become fine. The disadvantage is that the file size becomes large.

File size becomes large

(When you double the resolution, the file size becomes about four times larger.)

Scanning, saving, and reading the image takes a long time

Sending and receiving emails or faxes takes a long time

The image becomes too large to fit the display or print on the paper
