Placing reflective originals
You can place a reflective original directly on the scanner’s glass plate.
The following steps explain how to position your reflective original on your scanner.
1. Raise the document cover of the scanner.
If you have acquired and installed a transparency option or a document feeder option, you do
not have to remove it for scanning reflective originals: just raise the transparency option or the
document feeder option.
2. Place the original on the glass plate with its image side down and with its top side against the
middle of the front ruler.
Optical performance of a CCD scanner is always best near the middle of the glass plate.
3. Lower the document cover of the scanner.
The adjustable document cover makes it possible to scan from books and magazines: when
you put a thicker original on the reflective glass plate, the document cover adapts itself to its
thickness.
You are ready to scan now.
Placing reflective originals in your document feeder option
The purpose of the document feeder option is to scan up to 10 pages of text (A4 or US letter) fast
and without interruption. Software like OmniPage Limited Edition
®
makes it possible to convert
them into most of the commercially used text file formats.
You use your document feeder option as follows: you put a little pile of pages of text (A4 or US
letter) in your document feeder option with the text side up.
