SCANNING
Please make sure that the scanned
material is not in direct sunlight or in
a brightly lit environment, which may
interfere with the scan and result in
an error message.
For optimal scanning results, use
the rubber shade. Hold the rubber shade
as close as possible to (touching, but not
pressing in) the forage you are scanning.
