directions given in the ColorFlex software manual to set the origi-

Scanning Thin Reflectives with the Flatbed
The best way to scan reßectives is to use the electrostatic plate. This
holds the original Þrmly and does not require glass plates, which could
otherwise interfere between the original and the light sensor. However,
you can only use the electrostatic plate for thin (up to 0.5 mm) originals.
1. Pull out the ßatbed support as far as it will go by pulling on the
drawer support handle shown in Figure 2.
2. Press the drawer button (shown in Figure 1). The ßatbed drawer
opens automatically.
IMPORTANT
: if a problem occurs when the drawer is opening
(such as an obstruction), you can stop the drawer by pressing the
drawer button again.
3. If necessary, replace the electrostatic plate as described in ÒReplac-
ing the Electrostatic PlateÓ on page 14.
