Scanning Documents and Photos

mat is installed inside the 
scanner cover.

2. Place your document 

or photo on the 
document table, face 
down on the glass. 
Make sure the top of 
the document or 
photo is against the 
front edge of the 
scanner and centered 
on the arrow mark.

3. An area of up to 0.2 inches (5 mm) from the horizontal and 

the vertical sides of the scanner glass cannot be scanned. If 
you place a document in the corner of the document table,

photo at least 0.8 inches (20 mm) apart from the others.
