Note:

❏ For A4 size or larger originals, make sure you pull out and extend the input tray extension.

❏ Make sure you pull out and extend the output tray extensions so that they are a little bit longer than the length of the

❏e stopper can move forward and backward on the output tray extension so that you can easily adjust the stopper

position to the best position for the originals being scanned.

❏ If thick originals bump into the output tray and fall from it, store the output tray and do not use it to stack the

ejected originals.

❏ If scanned images are still aected by ejected originals hitting the surface below the scanner, we recommend placing

the scanner on the edge of a table where the ejected originals can drop freely and you can catch them.
