2. Unlock the carriage
With the scanner turned off, unlock the carriage by using a
screwdriver or a coin into the locking screw located at the
bottom of the scanner.
Turn the locking screw counterclockwise to unlock it.
When successfully unlocked, the screw will push out a
little, becoming nearly even with the back of the scanner.
This indicates the scanner carriage has been released, and
the scanner is ready to be used.
