Figure 1 - Horizontal Position This position is preferred, unless a different specific posi- tioning is required, for its outmost ease of insertion as... - Page 14 Setting Up the Reader Figure 3 - Vertical Position This position is preferred when lack of room on the desk- top recommends the scanner to be left vertical during recharging. 1. Insert the appropriate parts for the desired base sta- tion position.
- Page 15 Setting Up the Reader 3. Using your thumbs, push open the plastic tabs on the bottom of the base to free the wing holders. 4.
