Safety Precautions (Continued) CAUTION Be careful not to damage the power cord or the interface cable and never use a damaged cord or cable. • Do not use unnecessary force to bend, pull, twist, or bind the cord and cable, place a heavy object Never damage or on them, nor remodel them.
Page 6
Safety Precautions (Continued) CAUTION Do not install, use, or store the scanner in a loca- tion that does not meet the specified temperature and humidity ranges. • Such location may impair the scanner’s perform- ance and cause the scanner to malfunction or break down.
Page 7
Safety Precautions (Continued) CAUTION Do not use sharp, pointed articles on the scanner. • Such action may impair the scanner’s performance and cause the scanner to malfunction or break down. Prohibited Do not exert pressure on the scanner. • Such action may impair the scanner’s performance and cause the scanner to malfunction or break down.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a CS500 Series/IS200 Series Image Scanner. The CS500 Series/ IS200 Series scanners are capable of performing high-speed scanning of documents ranging in size from ISO A4 to ANSI E. This User’s Manual describes how to operate the CS500 Series/IS200 Series scanners, and also includes usage precautions.
Page 9
A warm-up period is not usually required for the CS500/IS200 Series scanners. However, if you plan to scan a color document (in particular a document with many light colors), we recommend that you allow the CS500/IS200 Series scanners to warm up for 10 minutes before scanning the document.
