To scan reflective originals such as photos, you can use the ScanMaker 9800XL Plus with or without the
TMA 1600-III.
• If you purchased your ScanMaker 9800XL Plus with the TMA, you will need to use the Black Plate
included with your TMA 1600-III package to shield unwanted light.
• If you purchased your ScanMaker 9800XL Plus without the TMA, simply lift the scanner lid, and place
the reflective original to be scanned on the glass surface. Center the photo along the U-shaped ruler of
the scanner.
