program includes a help file.
Mounting the Digital Imager Scanner
Desk Mount
Use the optional desk mount for convenient and protective placement of the digital imager scanner on a flat
surface. Simply place the mount on the surface. The rubber feet hold the mount securely in place when inserting
and removing the digital imager scanner.

Inserting the Digital Imager Scanner in the Desk Mount
Alternatively, secure the desk mount to a desk surface by inserting two screws* appropriate for the mounting
surface through the screw holes of the desk mount, and into the surface. Screw the desk mount onto the surface
with or without the rubber feet.
*The recommended screws are two #6 screws (5/8” long).
