Locking the flatbed To prevent damage to internal components when relocating the flatbed

do the following:

1. If your scanning application provides a “Ship Scanner” option,

enable this option before locking the flatbed. Enabling this option
will ensure proper locking.

If your scanning application does not provide a “Ship Scanner”
option, scan one document on the flatbed before proceeding to
Step 2.

2. Power down the scanner and carefully lift the flatbed up and slide

the Lock/Unlock lever to the Lock position.

Connecting the flatbed

1. Power down the scanner.

2. If you have not already installed the flatbed software, install it before

connecting the flatbed.

3. Select the appropriate power cord for your region from the supply of

plug cords packed with your flatbed.

4. Connect the power supply, power cord and USB cable to the

flatbed. Refer to the illustration below for making proper
connections.

your PC.

its position.

Start/Resume button You can scan a document using the Start/Resume button on the

flatbed.

When you press the Start/Resume button on the flatbed,
you will get the same result as pressing the Start/Resume
button on the scanner. The application that is associated
with the number displayed in the operator control panel on
the scanner is launched. By default, the displayed

If you are scanning several exception documents using the flatbed, it
may be easier to use the Start/Resume button on the flatbed to start
scanning.

Using the flatbed The flatbed can be used to scan exception documents, file folders,

books, magazines, passports and more.

1. Open the flatbed cover.

2. Place the document face down on the glass platen.

3. Align the document in the lower right-hand corner at the corner

arrow.

NOTES:

• When scanning from the flatbed, be sure there are no documents in
the automatic document feeder of the scanner.

• When scanning documents be sure the flatbed cover is closed.

• The black background on the flatbed cover must be clean and
smooth. If there are any imperfections, it may affect auto crop
performance.

• When placing the document on the flatbed, the document should not
extend beyond the arrow. The corner arrow corresponds to the 0,0
Origin on the cropping window in your scanning application.

• When placing a book on the flatbed, the book may extend all the way
to the edge of the flatbed.

4. Close the flatbed cover.

5. Start scanning. You can scan the document using the Start/Resume

button on the flatbed or scanner; or use the desired application.

Scanning multiple documents from the flatbed

If you want to scan several documents on the flatbed scanner at one
time, the flatbed will scan the documents and output one image for
each document it finds. For example, if you place three documents on
the flatbed, three separate images will be output.

1. Open the flatbed cover.

2. Place the documents you want to scan face down on the glass

platen.

3. Close the flatbed cover.

4. Start scanning.

You can scan the documents using the Start/Resume button on the
