ADF and scanner operation
Flatbed scanner drive
1 Scanner glass
2 Motor (FB scanner)
3 Sensor (FB CIS home)
The flatbed scanner has a scanner lamp that is used to illuminate the surface of the document. The reflections
produced are processed to create the scan image.
For flatbed scan jobs, the flatbed scanner moves across the scanner glass area to scan the front side of the
document (facedown). The motor (FB scanner) controls the scanner position. The scanner is detected at its
home position by the sensor (FB CIS home).
For ADF scan jobs, the
flatbed
scanner stays at the left to scan the document.
