Scanner Setup 7
Placing the scanner on a suitable surface
Important
Your wide format flatbed scanner should be placed on a single, stable, level and
completely flat (plane) surface like a well-made table. If convenient, you can place the
back end of the scanner against a wall leaving space for the cables to be connected
at the back. Make sure there is room above the scanner to raise the lid completely
into the upright position. It is a good idea to have at least 900mm available so that the
lid can be removed for maintenance if necessary.
The surface underneath the scanner should not impart tension on the scanner’s
frame caused by unevenness. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Failure to ensure the
surface is flat may produce poor scanning results and could cause damage to the
scanner device over time.
