extension, and then raise the stopper.
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
original, and raise the stopper so that the ejected originals can be stacked comfortably on the output tray.
❏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 aected 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.
