Q: What can I do if my images are getting over-cropped, or not getting cropped the way I
expected or prefer?
A: When you feed your original, always be sure you are positioning the original straight and
against the left edge of the feeder slot.
Q: What is the relationship between the orientation of my scan and the final stored image?
A: The orientation of your scanned image should be the same as the original as it was inserted
into the scanner.
Q: Why do all the images I scan have the same date when saved on the memory card?
A: The scanner does not have an internal “clock” to keep real time, so the date and time attributes
are a fixed value assigned during the production of the device. Connecting the scanner to your
computer should re-sync the date and time to the correct values.
Q: Should the scanner feel warm to the touch?
A: It is normal for the scanner to emit a small amount of heat (around 30-45
o
C) after prolonged
use. However, if there are strange odors coming from the scanner or the scanner feels hot to
the touch, power it off immediately and remove the cable from the scanner and the electrical
outlet or computer. Refer to the “Important Safety Precautions” section on page 3.
