2. Insert an original only after the machine prompts you to do so after the machine is ready for
copying.
3. To set the original, lay it face down and align the right side guide with the right edge of the
original. Aligning the right guide with the right edge of the original prevents skewing during
scanning.
4. Push the leading edge into the scanner. Release it as soon as the machine grabs the leading edge
and feeds it partially. To avoid skewing or damaging the original, never attempt to push or pull on
the original during this initial feeding.
5. If you see a problem at the beginning of scanning, press the original stop button (
original feed, and then open the scanner unit and remove the original.
6. Periodically clean the original table and the surface of the feed roller with a water dampened cloth.
Clean the exposure glass with the optical cloth provided with the machine. Cleaning prevents poor
feeding, dirt or dust transfer to the original, and poor copy image quality. To prevent damage to
the machine, the cleaning cloth should be only slightly damp; make sure no liquid drips into the
machine.
7. To ensure good print quality and to prevent jams, always remove a thick or long original from the
original stacker as soon as it exits.
8. Thick or especially long originals may not feed correctly. While feeding a thick or long original,
you can gently push the sides with both hands during scanning of the first half. You can guide the
sides with both hands as the second half scans.
9. When you open the scanner cover, always use both hands, placed on either side of it, as shown
on the decal and described in the operating instructions. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
machine, never open or close the scanner cover with one hand.
