Do not introduce stapled items or pages into the scanner.

Do not scan documents that have chipped or un-dried White-Out.
Do not insert any type of adhesive material, even POST-IT paper.

☺ Make sure the leading edge of your documents are straight and not wrinkled or folded.
Insert document at level to the intake slot. If your document has a fold, sharp-bend or is
wrinkled, you will need to straighten or flatten it first before scanning.

☺ Clean the scanner with the included cleaning sheet and 70% isopropyl alcohol (not
included). Place a few drops along the middle of the cleaning material and proceed to the
Calibrate menu, select CLEAN option instead.
Your scanner will automatically pass the cleaning material back and forth over the internal
