Operating the Sheetfed Scanner

For the best possible image scans, it is important that you position your documents correctly and carefully. Procedures for document positioning are as follows:

1.Position the slide guides on the alignment marks for the paper size that you wish to use.

2.Pull out the paper tray under the door of the scanner.

3.Place the document upside down in the paper guide with the text facing away from you. The procedure is the same for multiple documents (max. 10 pages).

4.Click Scan in your scanning program or press the Start/Stop button on the right side of the scanner.


Tips for using the Sheetfed Scanner

To avoid paper jams, the sheets making up the document stack should be of the same size

Make sure you adjust the slide guides until they touch the side of the paper.

Do not open the scanner door while scanning

Do not move your mouse during a scan since this may affect image quality

To prevent paper jams, make sure the paper is properly aligned and not loaded at an angle.


dpi

brightness

contrast

The range of brightness or gray shades in an image. A high contrast image is a black and white image with no gray shades. A low contrast image shows many midrange gray shades.
