1.1 Turning the Scanner ON
1. Press the power button on the operator panel.
The scanner is turned ON, and the green LED on the operator panel lights.
During the initialization, the indication of the Function No. display changes as follows:
“8”->"P" -> "0" -> "1"
The indication "1" means that the operator panel is in the ready status.
Power button
To turn the scanner OFF, hold the power button down for two seconds.
HINT
■ Power Save Mode
The Power Save mode keeps the scanner in a low-powered state if no operation is performed on the
scanner for 15 minutes after it has been turned ON. The scanner is automatically switched to the
Power Save mode.
In the Power Save mode, the indication of the Function No. display on the operator panel goes out,
while the green LED is kept lit.
To return the scanner from the Power Save mode, perform one of the following operations:
• Load documents on the ADF paper chute.
• Press any button on the operator panel.
The scanner will be turned OFF when pressing down the power button for two seconds.
• Execute a command from the scanner driver.

1.2 Loading Documents on the ADF for Scanning
1.2 Loading Documents on the ADF for Scanning
1. Align the edges of the documents.
1) Confirm that all the documents have the same width.
2 ) Check the number of the sheets in the document stack.
The standard number of sheets that can be loaded on the scanner is as follows:
• A4-size paper or smaller that makes a document stack of 10mm or less (100 sheets
at 64 g/m
• A3-size paper or smaller that makes a document stack of 5mm or less (50 sheets at
64 g/m
2. Fan the documents as follows:
1) Lightly grip both ends of the documents with both hands, and bend the documents as fol-
lows.
2 Hold the documents firmly with both hands and bend them back as follows so that the
bent section rises up in the middle of the stack as shown below.

When you scan a batch of documents with different widths by using the ADF, you may get skewed
images from smaller sized documents.
Be sure to scan only documents of the same width together.
The following shows the procedure for scanning a batch of mixed size documents.
1. Sort out the batch into stacks of the same width.
2. Adjust the side guides to the width of each document stack.
3. Scan the batches of the same widths sparately one by one.

2.5 Saving scanned Images in PDF Format
To save scanned images in PDF format, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or later must be installed on your PC.
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 can be installed from the provided Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM.
There are two methods for saving scanned images in PDF format.
1. Using ScandAll 21
This method is recommended for color or grayscale scanning and when a smaller PDF file
size is required.
Your benefits are :
• Reduced PDF data size smaller than that by ordinary methods.
• Simplified method for creating PDF files with no troublesome operations.
2. Using Adobe Acrobat 5.0
This method is recommended for faster creation of PDF files and for black and white scanning.
Your benefits are :
• Quick creation of PDF files with the original scan resolution
• Flexibile creation of PDF files by changing the PDF compression rates
The file size increases when scanning color documents by an ordinary method. However, you can
