Placing Items (When Scanning from a Computer)

Learn how to place items on the platen of your scanner. Place items correctly according to the type of item
to be scanned. Otherwise, items may not be scanned correctly.
Important
• Do not place objects that weigh 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg) or more on the platen. Also, do not press on the item
with a force exceeding 4.4 lbs (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 the machine is placed upright, the item type may not be detected automatically. In that case,
specify the item type in IJ Scan Utility or ScanGear (scanner driver) and scan.
