  • Page 14: Front Of The Scanner

    Copiscan 8000 Plus Series Operator Manual As documents travel through the transport, they are guided by seven sets of transport rollers. Documents are delivered to the stacking surface on the exit tray, while the scanner maintains the original document feed sequence. Both the feeding and retrieval of documents are executed from the front of the scanner.
