Placing Documents

Learn how to place documents on the machine's Platen. Place documents correctly according to the type
of document to be scanned. Otherwise, documents may not be scanned correctly.
Important
Do not place items that weigh 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg) or more on the Platen. Also, do not press on the
document with a force exceeding 4.4lbs (2.0 kg). If you press heavily, the scanner may not work
correctly or you might break the glass.
Close the Document Cover when scanning.
When scanning documents other than film, make sure that the FAU (Film Adapter Unit) Protective
Sheet is attached to the Document Cover. Without the FAU Protective Sheet, the document type may
not be detected correctly.
