For instructions on using the reflective document mat, see “Scanning Reflective Documents” on page 44. There are three options available for the EPSON Expression 1640XL color scanner: the transparency unit (B813202), the automatic document feeder (B813212), and the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card (B808342).
