Adjusting the Input and Output Trays
for instructions on how to adjust the
trays.
Note:
ES&S recommends using a jogger to separate the ballots and to align the ballot stack
before you place the ballots in the input hopper. If the ballot stack is slightly curved, place the
stack in the input hopper with the convex side up. If the scanner cannot read a ballot because
of its condition or because of the way in which it is fed into the scanner, the scanner will not
process the ballot and will out stack the ballot to the Not Processed (top) bin.
