Page Separation Lever
You can scan plastic cards, folded documents, envelopes, or any document or photo that requires a carrier sheet by adjusting the position of the page separation lever.
Move the separation lever to this position only when scanning plastic cards, folded documents, envelopes, or any document or photo that requires a carrier sheet.
Note: Use a carrier sheet to load small, fragile or irreplaceable photos, valuable original documents, or artwork.
Leave the separation lever in this position to prevent paper jams when scanning batches of photos or standard singleor multiple-page documents.

Preparing Photos for Scanning
FastFoto can best scan batches of photos if they are all the same size. However, FastFoto can scan photos in these sizes in a single batch: 4 × 6 inches (102 × 152 mm) and 5 × 7 inches (127 × 178 mm). To do this, you must group the photos by size.
FastFoto can use common subjects or dates to automatically create meaningful file and folder names when scanning a batch of photos.
FastFoto also allows you to add file names to photos as you scan them. Enter a subject or date when you scan a batch of photos and FastFoto will add the subject or date to the file name of each image. Organizing your photos by subject, date, or location before scanning lets FastFoto add a descriptive file name to every photo in a batch, if desired.
Before scanning multiple photos, organize and clean your photos as described here.
1.Organize your photos by subject, date, or location.
2.Group your photos by size.
3.Fan your stack of photos and make sure they are not stuck together.
Caution: Stuck photos can feed through the scanner at the same time or jam in the scanner, potentially damaging your photos or the scanner.
4.Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the front and back of your photos to remove dust, dirt, or other particles that could potentially scratch your photos.
Caution: Because of the speed at which photos are scanned, dust particles on your photos can cause white lines to appear in scanned images, and in extreme cases can lightly scratch the protective finish on your photos. For best results, wipe off the front and back of your photos before
16
scanning and use the included microfiber cloth to clean the scanner rollers after every 500 scans, or even before each scanning session. See the link below for instructions on cleaning the rollers.

Loading Photos in the Input Tray
Loading Photos in the Input Tray
You can load up to 30 photos that meet the scanner's photo specifications in the input tray.
Note: Loading thick photos reduces the maximum number of photos that can be loaded in a single batch.
Before loading multiple photos, prepare the photos as described in the link below.
Caution: Do not load fragile or irreplaceable photos, or valuable original documents or artwork, directly into the input tray. This may wrinkle or damage the original. Load these originals one at a time using a carrier sheet.
Follow these guidelines when loading photos:
•Do not mix photos and documents.
•Scan photos of the same size in a batch.
•Do not add more photos during scanning.
•The total thickness of the photo stack must be less than 0.3 inch (8 mm) including any curve in the photos.
•Scan photos larger than 5 × 7 inches (127 × 178 mm) one at a time.
Caution: Do not scan Polaroid photos. Polaroid photos are too thick, and can damage the photo or your scanner.
